Style Control

Nexus is divided into numerous sections, each of which are styled independently from one another. Therefore, you can easily mix 'n' match the various styles to match your desired purposes. This is all made quick and easy via template parameters in the Joomla Administrator.

Style Control

You need to set Preset Style to Custom in Extensions → Template Manager → rt_nexus_j15 for the configuration options to work.

The options are as follows, and the areas that they control are indicative in their name:-

Header Style: Light or Dark
Body Style: Light or Dark
Showcase Style: Light or Dark
Primary Style: Yellow, Light Blue, Blue, Dark Blue, Orange, Green, Silver, Brown, Red, Purple
Footer Style: Light or Dark

Creating your own Preset Styles

Login to the Joomla Administrator
Go to Extensions → Template Manager → rt_nexus_j15
Set Preset Style to Custom
Choose your desired style options
Hit Custom Style in the top right button menu
Copy the code from the Custom Style Output box.
Go to /templates/rt_nexus_j15/styles.php
Edit the code between array() with your copied code block
Save and upload

We recommend that you keep the original style1-style10 names and just modified the dark, light, colour references, for compatibility reasons.

Inactive Module

You should publish modules to the "inactive" position and set the Menus to "All", for them to show up on pages where there is no active menu ID. This is a bug/feature of Joomla that causes only menu items in the "All" setting to show up.
