Looks slick Will. May need to have a look at your demo site though as it appears to be running very slowly. After clicking around a little, I had to kill the demo and just go with the Video.

Nice work though, very slick!

Cheers Conor,

It certainly was a labour of love - glad to hear you like it ;)
We crammed as much into the template as possible.

Yes, our dedicated server might be a little under pressure at the moment - probably due to all the recent traffic - certainly check it out in an hour or two.

Hey Will,

Well I had a chance to poke through everything here over the past 30 minutes and it's a VERY SLICK template. Nice that you included the OGP into the template also, this is going to become more requested by theme developers as time goes on. Nice that you jumped on it now rather than later!

The only thing that I couldn't find on there was the ability to have all the prices display in USD rather than in Euro (same if I was visiting from Australia I'd like to see Australian prices etc). While I do see that the price is listed at 415 Euro and then the $591 price beside it, in the "Buy More - Save More" section, those prices are only in Euro. Is there a way within the theme that a site visitor can choose what currency to view the website in, and then all pricing would change?

I think it's a great theme as is, just figured this might be something a little extra requested down the road.

On a side note - I'll be in Waterford at the end of August (just one day, and it's a Sunday 28th). I grew up in Rush (just north of Dublin) but my wife has never been to Ireland so I'm doing the whirlwind trip with her for a few days. If you happen to be around Sunday evening, I'd love to take you out for a pint.

Hi Conor,

Thanks for the good feedback and comments - we will investigate the multiple prices as you mentioned. Always a good idea to add these features before someone asks for them.

We're already working on our next theme - so all these features will be there and many more.

Yes, lets try arrange to meet up if you are around, send me a PM closer to the date, good idea :)

regards
W.

We are in the process of installing this template and have received little support so far.
This is not a rant but rather some feedback.
This is one of the most expensive templates I found, but also the sleekest.
If I get this working, I will post a link in this thread to add to the other 2 mentioned above.
Seems most templates displaying images don't have a maximum x and y pixel value set such as:
- Featured categories on front page
- Manufacturers.php
In some cases images are being stretched and shrunk to fit in a predefined box.
You will need to make sure all your graphics are properly formatted/cropped.
This is great to know when you start a new store but if you are coming from an existing store, expect a lot of formatting.
Or, if you know CSS, start playing with those values.
the recommended thumbnail dimensions: 150 x 150 and stick to it!
Using multi currencies, the alternate currency display gets cut off on the right hand side.
Looks like the template is not displaying 4 columns in all browsers. IE8 on XP-Pro seems the worst. I get anywhere between 2 to 3 column. It also varies between search results, manufacturers and categories. However, the xgear DEMO store displays correctly.
The demo store is using like a magnifying feature on large images. I can't make this work. It may be another module you need to buy?
On product pages, when there are "product classes" assigned for comparison, the button "Add To List..." brings up a sub menu which doesn't look pretty.
There is a nice "To Wish List" button but I think you forgot to format the "To comparison list" button.
It just displays text. xCart out of the box displays a box for the "To comparison list".
Also, I recommend to put the "product classes" in a tab. When displaying many class fields, the entire layout starts overlapping other elements.
Product template for products with "product classes" create java script errors.
When a "0" price is set, expect the products.tpl to overlap other elements, specifically the comparison buttons.
Overall, the template is surprisingly fast. We are on a dedicated server with Handson.:D

Re: NEW xcart template - xtreme Gear
 

When you click on "ask a question about this product" a pop-up window appears.
Unfortunately, the "x" for closing the window on the top RH corner is missing.
Anyone else having issues with this template and or developer ?
