A guide to the basic Equinox customisation options that can be configured in the template "index.php" file with a description of each of the available options and how they affect the presentation of the template.
Equinox features several built in configuration options that have been designed to be easily changed with a single control. You can take advantage of these customisation options by making changes in the Equinox "index.php" file. Here is a breakdown of the available options:
$default_style = "style2"; //[style1... style8]
$enable_rokzoom = "true"; // true | false
$template_width = "990"; // width in px | fluid
$sidebar_width = "25%"; // width in px or %
$secondcol_width = "25%"; // width in px or %
$menu_name = "mainmenu"; // mainmenu by default, can be any Joomla menu name
$menu_type = "moomenu"; // moomenu | suckerfish | splitmenu | module
$default_font = "default"; // smaller | default | larger
$show_pathway = "true"; // true | false
Equinox has 8, pre-made styles that can be easily selected from the option shown below. Simply change the settings between the two " " tags to your style of choice.
$default_style = "style2"; //custom | [style1...style8]
RokZoom, a powerful and presentationally excellent script can sometimes come into conflict with other javascript libraries, you can disable it with the following settings.
$enable_rokzoom = "true"; // true | false

The following parameter controls which Joomla! menu is loaded for the horizontal navigation bar. Therefore, you can use a custom menu instead of a default menu.
$menu_name = "mainmenu"; // mainmenu by default
Equinox has the 4 options for the horizontal navigation bar. You can either, select moomenu, the latest menu addition;
suckerfish, the basic vertical dropdown menu; splitmenu, the popular classic or have the area as a separate module position.
$menu_type = "moomenu"; // moomenu | suckerfish | splitmenu | module
Based on your own personal preference, or the preference of your users; you can easily set the default font size of the text in your site by editing the following line:
$default_font = "default"; // smaller | default | larger
Sometimes sites just look better with no pathway, and we've provided a convenient toggle to allow you to disable this for your site
$show_pathway = "true"; // true | false
