I'll be honest. I make templates in my spare time. I will try to answer questions but there is a good chace I won't be able to personally answer each support request (sometimes its up to a dozen per day, I simply don't have time). The good news is you can ask for help on the ThemeForest item page or in the ThemeForest forums. I'll do my best to answer inqueries and I know there are many other helpful users at ThemeForest to help pick up the slack. Below you'll find some common answers to issues that might arise during customization.
The CSS is split into two pieces, the structure (all.css), and the style (themename.css). There are currently four color schemes: primary.css, wine.css, spring.css, and formal.css. To make the change, open any HTML and find this line, in the head of the document:
<link href="css/primary.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
and change
css/primary.css
to the path to any of the other stylesheets.
<link href="css/wine.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
All the content for those blocks is in the HTML and CSS. In index.html, all the titles will be in <div class="featuretitles"> and all the slide content will be in <div class="featureinserts">. Change the text for the titles or slides, save, and you should be able to see the new titles or slides in the page.
Both the quotes and colorful blocks on the homepage are controlled with Cycle. Cycle has dozens of effects for rotating your content, and changing them out is as easy and changing a line of text. To change the effect, first pick a desired effect from the effect browser. Next, open /js/events.js and find the lines
fx:'blindY'
and change it to any effect you like. Some will work better than others (some seem a bit too over the top), so play around with the effect browser and look through a few before picking one that suits your needs.
Cufon is a process of taking a font file (TTF, OTF, PFB) and converting it into VML as saving it as Javascript. Without using Flash or images, Cufon can dynamically render type in any typeface you choose. First, use the Cufon generator to create a JS version of the font. Next, open the HTML file and find in the header:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/nilland_900.font.js"></script>
and replace it with the title of your newly generated font. The included font is Nilland, which I found free on Dafont.com. To activate Cufon on other elements than those originally implementd, open up /js/events.js and look in the top of the file for examples. For more information, see the Cufon usage documentation.
For a demo of elements (headings, lists, paragraphs, images, blockqotes, etc), go to the Elements page. Each color scheme includes custom colors for all the links, text, and graphics. The sidebar has a pair of custom list styles: checklist and news style. The navigation automatically points to the active page. Use the classes "alignright" and "alignleft" to float images or content within a page.
This template is really just a shell for any type of content you can dream up. Instead of filling the template with page after page of dummy content, I filled it with marketing and support materials for the template itself just to show what the site would look like with real content. In my book, real content beats dummy content any day so it seemed worth it. Plus, with the template filled with more real content, swapping it our for your own should be easier (you'll have plenty of examples to take and customize).
The best bet for getting an answer would be to post on the ThemeForst item page or in the ThemeForst forums. I will do my best to answer questions and assist people who have purchased the template. If you need something major or more custom, I'm available at my normal hourly freelance rates.
