Folio Life quickstart package
Folio Life comes with a fully setup Joomla installation that replicates what you see here on the demo.

Lazy Image Load and Back to Top Option
One of the driving forces behind our templates is the free JB Library plugin that provides some optional fancy functionality as well as simply enabling the jQuery library on your site. The JB Library plugin features include:
- Lazy Image Load to speed up page load on pages that have a large number of images.
- IE6 Warning that warns uses that they are using an outdated browser (Im sure they already know that though)
- Back to Top functionality that adds a back to top link at the bottom right of the screen that when clicked scrolls the user back up to the top of the viewport.
Read more about JB LIbrary and its features on the JB Library documentation page.
JB Slideshow3 - Front page Slideshow
The JB Slideshow3 module has featured a lot in our templates over the past few years and with good reason. The slideshow is now full compatible with K2 and provides an amazing array of layout potential. You get full control over the the way your slideshow displays and behaves and the end user gets a smart and fast loading Joomla content slideshow.
JB Panel
The JB Hidden panel is a standard feature thats built into the Zen Grid framework. The panel provides a smart way to make important but not essential information on the page via a jQuery script that helps to hide and display the modules you have published there. The panel becomes active when you publish any module to the panel1, panel2, panel3 or panel4 module positions.
Read more about the JB Hidden Panel in our Zen Grid Documentation respository.
Superfish and Panel Menus
The Folio Life Joomla template ships with the ability to create the smooth superfish and panel menus that you can see in action on the demo site. The superfish menu can be positioned to the menu moduel position or any position if you apply the -superfish module class to it; while the panel menu can be used in the left or the right column. For a full description of how to set up the menus for the Folio theme please scroll down to the bottom of the page on the Pixel Eight documentation page.

This template smooth magazine style template that takes advantage of K2's advanced layout techniques and adds some add flair to get you blogging with Joomla out of the box.
