| Page | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Home | Page | The Home page starts with a prominent hero section in a primary color. Featured exhibitions are shown in separate colorful sections. Exhibition images are absolutely positioned and thanks to the multi-layered parallax effect, they move at different speeds while scrolling. The page ends with latest news and a call to action. |
| Exhibitions | Page | The Exhibitions page also starts with a full screen hero section, this time in a secondary color, followed by featured exhibitions presented in alternating gap-free sections. The page ends with a link to a full list of exhibitions. |
| All Exhibitions | Template | The All Exhibitions page shows a list of all exhibitions in a three-column layout with their title, dates, description and of course a link to their detail pages. |
| Exhibition Post | Template | The Exhibition Post page is a classic case study for an exhibition. It starts with a prominent full screen hero section showing the post title, meta information and a link to tickets. The post itself is shown in a two-column layout with the content on the left and ticket prices, artist information as well as links to save the date in the calender on the right. Next comes a gallery with images shown in alternating sections followed by the artist quote. As a highlight, the previous/next pagination even shows the exhibition image and title. |

The post itself is shown in a two-column layout with the content on the left and the artist image, links to the website and CV as well as publications about the artist are on the right. Next comes a videos section, posts about the artist and a table with all artist exhibitions. Just like on the Exhibition Post page, the previous/next pagination which shows the artist image and name. |

| Error 404 | Template | Finally, Line Gallery has a colorful 404 Error page with a link back to the home page. |
Animated Lines
One of the main highlights of the Line Gallery theme are fine curved lines in the background. When first browsing the page, the lines are animated and look like they are being drawn while you scroll through the site from top to bottom. These hand-drawn lines can be found throughout the layouts and give the website a creative look with a high recognition value.
Background Colors and Images
Line Gallery uses colorful sections and tiles throughout its layouts. In addition to the default background colors, we also picked custom colors to match the exhibition images of the teaser sections. Some background images on the Exhibitions and Artists pages are positioned in the middle not covering the whole column so that the background is seen as a colorful frame. This gives the layout a more artistic look and feel.
Fixed Split Screen Layout
A real eye-catcher is the new fixed split screen on the Post Interview page. We used a two-column layout with a background image on the left and the content on the right. Since the image is fixed with regard to the viewport, you can only scroll the content in the right column up until a new section enters the viewport. This new layout is a really nice addition to our layout library.
Style
Line Gallery has a modern flat style with striking colors which perfectly fit the artistic topic. The heavy use of the primary color throughout all UIkit components makes the style very colorful. We also went for a bold typography with San-Serif font making the headlines very prominent throughout the layouts. The Line Gallery style has flat buttons and cards with sharp edges. As the main hover effect, we are swapping text and background colors for primary buttons, icon buttons, markers and slidenavs. The forms have a thick bottom border which becomes muted when focused. All this makes the style easily recognizable and will give your website a truly unique artistic look.
In addition to the default style Line Gallery comes with 5 other style variations, each with a different beautiful color scheme. For this theme release we put some extra effort into creating really special style variations. There is one white style with a neon primary color, an elegant light style with pastel colors and a classy black style. The last two variations are really special. They use daring colors for both the background and typography. You may have seen something similar in the brutalist web design. There are even three main colors which are swapped across backgrounds and typography. We think these are a great addition to our style library. Of course, you can switch the whole look and feel of your website with just a click. Simply choose what fits your website best!

Hand-Drawn Elements
To accentuate the artistic topic, the Line Gallery style uses different hand-drawn elements. Pagination, tabs and subnav look like they were underlined with a black marker. The divider icon uses a fine line which looks like it was hand-drawn with a pen. And all 3 box decorations show hand-drawn circles in the back- or foreground. This will make the images and videos really stand out.
Content Types and Custom Fields
Line Gallery comes with a fully functional demo website with 2 content types in addition to the default post – exhibition and artist.

I still have no idea how to get the next/prev link to show anything but the next/prev text though. Am I missing something?
(Also - Menu system update? Come on guys - when is this actually happening?!? No MegaMenu and no normal menu > 2 levels? Seriously?!)
hanna
And we are working on the menus 😉

Although it looks great, it's sad that the Exhibition / Index is not dynamically built.
I thought first that you used a table element to built the listing. But each exhibition is one separate row. :-(

A solution would maybe be dynamically created rows / group of elements? ( dreaming awake... :-) )

The suggestion is a dynamically sourced section with multiple elements + a new global source: parent section. So every element inside the section takes its source from the parent section, and the section repeats based on its multiple source.

So as we have just celebrated the 3rd anniversary of its "active development" – are there at least please any plans to release a ETA data for this so long-awaited feature called "💡 Locked Builder Mode for End Users": https://yootheme.com/support/question/137965 ?
RE: info by michael.maass from Support on Jan 27, 2019:
« "Locked Builder Mode for End Users" is in active development.
But there is no official release date or estimation.(...) »

I know Yootheme Team works in a such mysterious no-transparent way, but maybe something would pop out? Anything? Please?

Yoour confused fanboy, Luke

Thanks, but the new post completely does not address the feature in question... so not sure what conclusion should I draw on it? That you will not pursue this feature any more and simply do not want to talk about it?
Or maybe I missing sth here... ?
Additionally - will yootheme pro builder be WCAG compliant this year?
Please advise, Luke
hanna
Concerning the other question, did you know there is a 3rd party extension you can use? Check it out on our Extensions page https://yootheme.com/support/extensions

I´ve downloaded this template and expected it to be Joomla 4, but it isn´t, still 3.10.
Is it ready for updating to Joomla 4?
Thanx

Can we expect more templates this year, or is Yootheme definitely ditching this part of its business to focus on the framework?
And let it be clear that the Yootheme builder is wonderful for me, but the agencies would appreciate a little more material published monthly to have news for our clients.
Thank you for your answers.
milan.markovic
Do you plan posting any new tamplates this year 😂 😂
I bought subscription in January, and still there aren't any new ones, I mean what is going on.
Should I ask for the refund already or what? At least I think you should add 6 months to my subscription because this is not what was promised. Thank you!

I am member since 2011 and I just read in the above mentioned release policy that you gave up on your core competency. Yo used to provide outstanding beautyfull themes, which happens still from time to time but generally seems to be depreciating. I do appreciate YoothemePRO but we are heading September now and 1 theme 7-8 month ago feels too little. Are themes going to vanish at all?
