GlossyPaintMarch 2005 Bonus Joomla Template
GlossyPaint is a bonus template for March. It uses the same layout as PrimeTime, the January Template, but with predominately red hues. This template is what I like to call a medium colored fixed width portal. The whole color scheme of this design is dictated by the main header, module headers, and an accent color. The rest is very neutral with a white content area.
This template has an auto-contracting ‘newsflash’ area, as well as an auto-contracting ‘right’ column that allows it to accommodate width hungry components such as galleries and forums.
