Kinetic, the February 2010 Club Template release, has a versatile and
flexible design, styled with scrupulous precision, and founded on the
functional, feature rich Gantry v2.0 core.
The theme’s impressive collection of preset styles, and complimentary
module variations are key to the design’s appeal, offering an array of
stylistic tools to refine your content. Kinetic also sports a triple
level splitmenu, similar to the menu system deployed on the RocketTheme
site, as well as Fusion still being available.

8 Style Variations in High, Med and Low Modes
Kinetic has 8 preset styles / style variations with each having 3
different detail levels: High, Medium
& Low. You can edit these combinations with the Gantry
administrator at Extensions → Template Manager → rt_kinetic_j15.
Additionally, each style variation has 4 colour modes for the
Showcase area as well as a transparent option which again, you can
configure in the Template Manager.
NOTICE: RokNavMenu 1.7.13+ is required for the Kinetic
Menu to work.
RTL Support
Template side RTL support from the Fusion menu to the Typography.
This is in conjunction with Gantry version 2.0’s RTL support for the
automatic flipping of the grid system.
If Joomla is set to RTL mode, in its language settings, the Kinetic
template will automatically adjust to its RTL layout. The modules will
invert inside a row, such as showcase-a and showcase-f being in
alternate locations; the various template elements such as the
breadcrumbs and typography will also flip; and also the menu will adjust
accordingly (ensure you are using the latest version of RokNavMenu
however).
