 Basic Customization
Default Color Style
With 20 exciting color styles, it can be difficult to choose just one. But you will want to choose the one that will show by default to users when they visit your site for the first time.
Template Width
Sometimes, one size just doesn't fit all; and Versatility III is designed to allow you to display the template in any default width you desire. All you have to do is enter the width size that is perfect for your needs.
Side Column Width
Along with the template width, you can also easily customize the width of the side column (either right or left depending on the orientation).
Menu Side
Versatility III features the ability to display the Splitmenu items in either a left or right hand configuration when Splitmenu is the active menu system.
Default Font Size
Based on your own personal preference, or the preference of your users.
Show Pathway
Sometimes sites just look better with no pathway, and we've provided a convenient toggle to allow you to disable this for your site
Show Pull-Down Panel
The pull-down panel is a great way to put content or modules that you want to have around, but don't want them to clutter up your site.
 Customizing the Logo
One of the first steps of customizing your new Versatility III template will undoubtedly be altering the logo text to reflect the name of your company / organization. RocketTheme makes this process a simple one by including both the Source PNG for the template, as well as logo blanks.
The most effective way to customize the logo is to use the included Source PNG file. When opened in Adobe Fireworks, this file contains all of the Layers in the design allowing you to tweak and change any of the image elements of the template design. The following steps will help you quickly get your new logo ready to go:
- First, open the main Source PNG file in Adobe Fireworks (v3_source_part1.png or v3_source_part2.png). With the pointer tool, double click on the logo area in the top left of the layout. This will cause a cursor to appear, in which you can highlight the existing text and replace with your own. (The slices may be on by default, obscuring the logo area so that you can not select it. You can hide the web layer slices for now by clicking the "eye" icon to the left of "Web Layers" in the right hand "Layers" panel).
- In Versatility III, the logo text consists of two text elements, the top main logo text and the bottom reflection text. First, you will want select the top text with the Pointer Tool, double click the text area so that a cursor appears. Highlight the "Versatility III" text and replace with your desired logo text.


Next, use the Pointer Tool to select the bottom reflection text layer, double click the text area so that a cursor appears. Highlight the "Versatility III" text and replace with the same text you used in the logo text above it.


- Once you have replaced the text in the logo area and are happy with the result, it is time to export the slice and replace the existing logo image in the template with your new one. Turn your Web Layer slices back on (click the empty box to the left of "Web Layers" in the right hand "Layers" panel causing an eye icon to appear), this will cause all of the slices to become visible (represented by green coloured squares).
- With the pointer, click on the slice on top of the logo area so that it is selected (a crosshair will appear in the center and the name "logo: PNG" will appear when selected). Right click on the slice and select the menu option "Export Selected Slice" and save into your rt_versatilityiii/images/style# folder replacing the existing "logo.png" with your new "logo.png".

If you don't have Adobe Fireworks, you can easily change the logo by using one of the included Logo Blanks and putting your custom text and logo on top of the image and saving as "logo.png". There are Logo Blanks for each color style included in the Source PNG .zip archive that contain the background imagery of the logo area, without any text or logo elements.
