1. Installing Template on your Joomla

1. Browse and Download : Go To Download Folder of JA Kyanite for J15 and download the Template zip file. Refer this screenshot for overview of download folder.
2. Install the Template : Now install the Template to your Joomla 1.5 . Follow This Guide if you are new.

Template Configuration :

Typography Styles – Supported in JA Kyanite Template :

JA Kyanite template comes with multiple typography styles for headings, content, tables, buttons, quotes, lists and so on…

You can view the Typography Page in the Demo site: Typography page

And this is HTML code:11912

You can use the above HTML code for making similar page in your site and refer to the codes for using Typography.

IMPORTANT : These typography styles are specific to JA Kyanite template and if you use them in your content and later decide to change the template, the styles will be broken, as these styles depend upon the template based css files (typo.css). We recommend using minimum typography, if you plan to change your template in future.
