6 Style Variations in High, Med and Low Modes
The theme has 6 unique style variations, 3 of which are light and the other 3 being dark. Each variant has 3 modes, High, Med and Low, which present different levels of detailing. Therefore, with a simple parameter switch, you can pivotally change the theme from a conservative to a vibrant design.

RTL Support
Template side RTL support from the Fusion menu to the Typography. This is in conjunction with Gantry version 2.0's RTL support for the automatic flipping of the grid system.
If Joomla is set to RTL mode, in its language settings, the Dominion template will automatically adjust to its RTL layout. The modules will invert inside a row, such as showcase-a and showcase-f being in alternate locations; the various template elements such as the breadcrumbs and typography will also flip; and also the menu will adjust accordingly (ensure you are using the latest version of RokNavMenu however).
