Menu Types Configuration
This time, JA Antares offers you 3 types of our traditional menu, but in the other way: vertical. The menus applied are JA Split Menu, JA CSS Menu and JA Transmenu

To choose your menu type, go to the 32rd line in the "ja_antares/ index.php" and change $ja_menutype to what you need.
1 is Split Menu, 2 is CSS Menu and 3 is Transmenu.



Note: If you decide to use one of these menu, don't forget to unpublish the module name Main Menu in your administration panel to make your site look smoother. This time, the menu have the fixed height (equivalent to the fixed number of menu items). If you want to increase or decrese the menu's (and JA Header Image module's) height, go to the template_css.css file and change the height of #ja-banner and #ja-mainnav to the value you want. The height of each menu item is 25px.

Screen Resolution Configuration
JA Antares allow you to set 3 types of screen resolution. You can easily config JA Antares template's width by modifying the Template Configurations part in the "ja_antares/index.php".

To choose which screen's width you want to use, go to the 24th line of the "ja_antares/index.php" file and change the value of $ja_width_default to 'wide' (1024x768), 'narrow' (800x600) or 'auto' (100% width).



Font Resizer Configuration
You can also configurate the font resizer function. Go to "ja_antares/index.php" and replace the value of $ja_font_size_default to the size you want. You can choose the font size ranged from 1 upto 6.



Color Theme Configuration
You can configure the default color theme of JA Antares too. You can switch it to alternate to make the template fit in your overall theme. We provide the alternate colors 'green' and 'orange' beside the 'default' blue style.



To specify the default color of your site, go to the line 22nd of the "ja_antares/index.php" and replace the value of $ja_color_default to the color your want.

JA Header Module
The flashing module you've seen in demo page is the new, style-revamped flashing header of JoomlArt. You can choose between Fade Javascript style, or Flash Object style to display your cool images. All are XHTML validated and have flexible parameters for you to configure.

After successfully installed, the modules will be placed at menu Modules -> Site Modules
