More Details...Is there any tutorial to get me started with Fresco?
Is Fresco compatible for Joomla 1.5?
No, Fresco is only compatible with Joomla 2.5. The Joomla 2.5 stable has been released out for some months and you should upgrade.
More Details...What is RokSprocket?
RokSprocket is a revolutionary new Joomla 2.5 only extension that has been designed to replace a variety of our existing ‘content’ modules. These include RokStories, RokTabs, RokNewsPager, RokNewsflash, RokMicronews, and basically any module in the RT arsenal that manipulates and displays articles.
More Details...What is Gantry?
Gantry is, as a basic definition,
A framework used for assembling, building and maintaining a RocketTheme template. It is an advanced platform for dramatically extending the capabilities of the entire theming system of Joomla.
More Details...What is Fusion Menu?
Fusion Menu is a menu theme of the RokNavMenu extension, the addon that drives all RocketTheme template menus. It is primarily a javascript enhanced CSS dropdown menu, that combines standard suckerfish type functionality with animations, transitions and other advanced effects provided by Mootools.

A few of our RocketTheme extensions have been given individual styling by the template, these are RokNavMenu, RokSprocket, RokAjaxSearch, RokTwittie, and RokGallery.
More Details...Can I install RocketLauncher on existing Joomla! website?
No. RocketLauncher will install both Joomla and the demo sample content and images, so you will need a fresh Joomla! installation.
More Details...I installed Fresco RocketLauncher but the images are different with the demo site.
As explained at Fresco Installation page, to avoid image license copyright issue, all sample content images shown in our demo site will be replaced with blank versions in the RocketLauncher version.
