I am currently working on this site: http://www.barkleyandpaws.com. I am using the mobius theme (a little problem in Firefox though??). It is a magazine site which is also using the Ijoomla magazine module.
The Rocket themes really help with the layout and are very easy to use. What a difference over the standard fare. Any ideas and suggestions are extremely welcome. I am still adding content daily and plan on this being a work in progress for quite some time.
Thanks again for a great set of themes!!! - Visit our pet magazine at www.barkleyandpaws.com

Thanks Ron... I appreciate the kind words!
I was trying to convey that very feeling of a peaceful setting. I would really like to be able to customize the "trees" by seasons, with leaves falling of in the fall, lights or snow in winter, etc ... but I'm not a good artist at all...

it's a bit off in Opera as well and not really too balanced in IE6 either.
you need to change the hover class on the menu to make it more obvious you are over the link.
the color scheme should probably go, the greys look to blah, and you need more spacing /margings on your content as they look like google text ads (especially the stuff at the bottom).
For color scheme, either go with a big font 'Kids look' bright colors or more doggy,kitty earthtones (yes we know they are color blind but...)
like frinstance - a nice Golden Retriever color scheme or a nice Manx Tabby or Siamease
take your favorite Cat or Dog picture then steal the palette of the predominant colors ( Photoshop and Paint Shop pro can take a jpeg and tell you what the predominant colors are-or you can just look, then use the 'eye-dropper' tool to pick up the color code)
Fun Content-A lot of kids will want to come to get info about their pet.
Interactivty:
A place to post pet pictures, doggy diary, kitty gallery, treatment schedules
a place where they come back to time and time again
(Yeah, I'm looking for fun free projects to do to pad my resume fresh out of school, so if you need a little part time sporadic help )

Very pretty.
It's not viewable in narrow mode, however. The sidebar module get munched, text overlaps, and so on. Looks as if you intend for it to be used in wide, so you might want to remove the narrow button option on the styleswitcher.
You might want to try the -color module class suffix for some variety in the sidebar. That's just a matter of your personal tastes, though.
Nice adaptation. Good luck with the site!

- Thanks Christopher. You're right about the narrow mode. When all the navigation was on the right it worked. I moved everything to the left and didn't check it. I'll either turn it off or move the navigation back to the left.

Thanks for all the feedback Mary. You have some great ideas. If you are serious about helping let me know... I have some other ideas I haven't enabled yet. Do you know a good artist? I would really like to do something with the background at the top.... Anyway let me know.. - Visit our pet magazine at www.barkleyandpaws.com
