Nimbus comes with four different colour themes - Blue, White, Brown and Black. They each have their own type of weather depending on the mood of your site. You can select the theme variation either by editing the index.php file in Joomla 1.0 or via the template administrator in Joomla 1.5.

Nimbus comes with two versions of the quick start package. The quick start packages enable you to get a replica of the demo site setup in under 5 minutes. We have an in depth tutorial on how to set up the quickstart package on the Joomla Bamboo blog and if you have any issues with the installation you can visit the forum or submit a support request and we will help you out. If you are installing the template into a pre-existing Joomla site then this tutorial will show you how to install a Joomla template.

Please note that the quickstart packages do not contain the MyBlog and JomComment components. These extensions can be purchased separately via the Azrul site. The demo site also uses Community Builder in order to reference the avatar images you see in the blog template.

The hidden panel in the nimbus template has been implemented in a slightly different way to previous Joomla Bamboo themes. This time its a little subtler and a little bit slicker. The panel itself is triggered by the button on the right edge of the template and sits on top of the main content body.

As you can see from the demo Euphemism utlisies a fairly creative way of displaying the date of a post in MyBlog as well as  displaying the standard created date in Joomla. Depending on how you are using the template the steps to setting up this type of display is quite different. Check out the details below and follow the steps required for your particular platform. You can also take a look at the August joomla club template called Bliss for a similar implementation.
