I LOVE Rockettheme templates, but it seems almost every template I use I have problems with it working properly on different devices - desktop, iPad, iPhone, etc.
I'm sure this is a huge problem with most users, and I wonder if there could be something added - whether it be an add on to all templates, or a plugin that would make the templates work properly with mobile devices.
The responsive support classes ( www.rockettheme.com/docs/joomla/basic/re...e_support_classes.md ) are outdated. For example, on an iPad in horizontal mode, I have to use the desktop class, for it in portrait mode, I use the tablet class. However, I also need to use the tablet class for iPhone. For desktop, I have to use the large class.
It would save me hours of my time trying to fix, and a lot of time for your amazing forum folk if this could be solved without opening up a question in the forum each time.
Menu's should work on different size devices without any work, however, I'm currently struggling to get a menu to stay on one line when viewed on an iPad.
It's very frustrating and time consuming, when it really ought to be baked in.

An Ipad in landscape mode is exactly the same as large display size - the media queries (and therefore our responsive support classes) only detect viewport size not physical device.
You have to design your content to behave responsively too - the template can't do everything for you.
I've also just answered two of your other posts regarding keeping the menu on one line.
