Module Styles:

• JA Zebrina offers you many styles of module suffix to help you to get impressions from your blocks. Add the module suffix ‘-blank’, ‘-clip’, ‘-pin’, ‘-task’ and ‘-hilite’ to make your modules look like the Demo Page by going to Module Configure and set the module suffix parameter to these values.

• If you’d like to set a module to be another color, you only need to follow the instructions I’ve set out for you below:

• Go to the Modules Manager area and open the module you wish to change colours for
• Look for “Module Class Suffix”
• Save the module

AJAX Integration

AJAX Loaded for Joomla! is out after many efforts. Because it’s still in beta stage, we have only succeeded to make it works well with Internet Explorer 6 and Mozilla Firefox. Due to some incompatibilities of browsers and Joomla!’s [Back] button, Safari, Konqueror and IE 7.0 is not supported and users using these browsers will surf the page like the normal way they always do. We’ll try our best to provide a solution and an upgrade for this integration in the near future.

If you still want to turn this off, Go to Extension >> Template Manager >> JA Zebrina >> change Template Ajax parameter into No

Note: If you want to alter the loading picture, there’s a bunch of it located in Zebrina download section, upload the files you want to images folder of the template.
