I have been very critical of Teline 3. I must say that this Teline 4 is very impressive! Great job JA team!

Will there be other color schemes besides the black?

:(( I love the JA Teline series. However, I have to confess that unfortunately in my opinion JA Teline 4 looks terrible. I’m only talking about the look and feel. Why did you have to mess with something that looked so great? All you had to do was to enhance the functionality and leave the look & feel unchanged. Why trying to fix something that wasn’t broken to begin with? Now it looks like a cheap template.

IMO they are not fixing anything, but developing another concept, which is bound by some general stuff 🙂
I find it pretty cool in fact. 🙂
It is simply a different template from Teline 3

You DO realize that you have the ability to change things up – in terms of look/styling – as much as you want, right? You can change fonts, colors, move modules around, not use certain modules/components, etc. – pretty much whatever you want.

I am quite sure he knows that Tom.

As for the look, I do to some extent agree. The beauty and in some minds the drawback of templates such as the Teline series is that there is a huge amount of information displayed on one page. If it well layed out then fine but there does come a point when there is just too much and I think if someone were to use all of the options that T4 allows it could just end up like that.

If you look at some of the top news sites in Europe they are beginning to realise that and are actually reducing the homepage content.

For instance –

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/
http://news.sky.com/skynews/
http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/

Compare those to the US where more seems to be the norm and you will see what I mean.

http://www.foxnews.com/

Just far too muck to click on (and a mare for the smaller web admin to maintain).

T4 is nice and scalable in this instance so I think if it is carefully used a good balance can be achieved.

I actually AGREE with you as to the “clutter” affect . . .

My favorite of the Teline series remains Teline II

I can’t agree more Phill!

Teline IV (and other Telines) beauty is in it’s content.

The very important and unique feature of Teline series that it will be as good as demo with whatever content/images you put into the site. And for a magazine/news sites, this become compulsory! Most editors will not have time (or not allowed) to change the picture or content of the news.
