- Planet template
Happy New Year 2010! Enjoy our new template creation “Planet”! We used a complex process to catch the colors sparks of new years fireworks and build it into our latest template.
This template comes with four impressive color variations: Black, White, Green and Blue. They fit perfect for gaming and sports sites. They are combined with different color and glow effects. We introduce two new impressive visual effects: We animated the background image of the header to create a pulsating gradient effect. And we slowly change colors of module headers, article separators and more to create a glowing color effect.

Slick as slick can be! Our new template creation Symphony is based on the Warp5 Joomla template framework and is a perfect symbiosis of colors and shapes. Symphony has the look of a very smooth surface.
Its header provides a large presentation area you can use for product images or large headlines and all menus have a stunning three-dimensional depth … check out the menu items’ cute little bullets! When you use the left and right column, the content area looks like it is hovering above them - a real eye-catcher.
Beautiful color variations
Symphony comes with a wide range of color variations and three extra themes we created to be used especially for cooking websites, online roleplay portals and blogs. Make sure to check out the perfectly balanced color combinations!
YOOtools in Action
Like its predecessor Mellow, Symphony also provides fresh looks for YOOtools. The YOOtools style overrides featured in this template include overrides for the YOOcarousel’s buttons and a nice text shadow for the YOOtweet module. And just like always, the YOOsearch got a style matching the rest of the template. Also, the presentation area can be perfectly used to display presentational YOOtools like the YOOscroller.
Small Warp5 Updates
We improved JS effect of the Down Down Menu for all Internet Explorers and added some new module templates. Also we did some small changes to the headings style in our Reset CSS.

Here is our latest template creation: Crystal! This template comes with a super swish fixed menu bar on top of the site. Crystal also sets new standards in the use of PNG alpha transparencies. You can create stunning effects using multiple transparencies when you place transparent modules on transparent backgrounds. It also comes with a great selection of background color variations and further you are able to easily apply your own custom background images.
Crystal offers lots of different color variations for menu items, allowing you to style every page in a different color. The background color of the drop down menu also changes when you change a menu item’s item color. Of course, you can combine all menu item-based color variations with all module color variations … variety galore!
By the way: We also wanted our ZOO component to fit into Crystal visually, so we included black CSS styles for ZOO. Now you can seamlessly integrate ZOO into the new YOOtheme Crystal template.

- Goodbye IE6!
As many of you may know, all our current YOOtheme template and extension releases are compatible and tested with the Internet Explorer 6 (IE6). Since this browser was originally released in 2001 and does not support the latest web standards and technologies compared to modern browsers which offer a rich support for HTML5, CSS2 or CSS3. Not to mention all the IE6 quirks and bugs which were sadly never fixed (Well we guess, every web developer knows what we are talking about ;-).
Since it’s release in 2001, Microsoft realized that the IE6 was not the greatest piece of software they have ever written. So after about 5 year’s of development on the 18. October 2006 they released IE6 successor Internet Explorer 7.
Furthermore in March 2009 they even released todays latest version, Internet Explorer 8. Both successors offer a lot of improvements compared to the old IE6 and most importantly a better support of todays web standards. Fortunately the number of people using IE6 is decreasing slowly but steady and the release of the upcoming Windows 7 later this year will surely speed up this process.
So we decided to discontinue IE6 browser support in YOOtheme products by the end of the year 2009. This means all templates and extensions of 2009 will still be IE6 compatible, but starting in January 2010 we will not test IE6 compatibility anymore. By doing so we follow an actual trend of dropping IE6 support, as announced on a lot of popular websites like Youtube, Apple MobileMe, 37signals Basecamp or Digg. Why are we dropping the IE6 support? IE6 is clearly a past-generation browser and cannot deliver a rich user experience that modern browsers can. Also this step allows us to focus on modern web technologies to optimize and enhance our templates without all the IE6 drawbacks.
We´re sure that this will give our future YOOtheme releases an additional boost and we can be very excited about what to come.
So we say “Farewell IE6!” on January 1st 2010.
