Nav Bar - OK, that makes sense. On a computer screen, the Nav Bar serves as the menu. (You can display a movable Main Menu module on the computer with identical content - that's what confused me at first.) Whereas on mobile devices, the tiny "hamburger menu" shows up on the top right, so the nav bar menu isn't needed for those devices. So the template leaves a blank space in that area, on those devices, as part of the "Responsive" design. I see that now.

The other question is less easily solved. I have been intently studying "Template Features" for the Caitlin template over the past 3 days - and feel more lost than when I started. I built 5 websites in Joomla51 templates last summer, creating lovely slide shows, galleries, and other features with the modules provided in those J51 templates. When Caitlyn was released recently, I noticed some new features (especially text over slide show images and the sticky nav bar) that I really liked, and wanted to plug into a new website I'm building now. But in struggling with this template for the past 3 days, I've not been able to get a positive result on the J-51 Carousel or the Header Slideshow - which are what I renewed my subscription to acquire. I scoured the website for tutorial guidance on these features, and posted in the Forum when I found no documentation on programming these two modules. Yes, the "Template Features' nicely describes and displays what these modules can do - but only as advertising, not as actual tutorial guidance on how to implement them.

Last year, if I ran into any similar roadblocks in implementation, I posted questions on the Forum, and Ciaran answered within hours and provided the guidance needed to help me implement the modules. This year, I have literally struggled for three days with these modules, and still not gotten any advice, except to install the demo installer (which it's too late for that since I already have an active Joomla installation and content on my site) or to look at the same advertising material that convinced me in the first place to buy the product - but still provides no guidance in how to use those advertised features. (unlike the older modules I used last year, which provided, and still provide, very good documentation.)

Frustrated... I was extremely happy last year with these templates and support. Can't say the same so far this year, with this new product. Still hoping for a happier ending. Still waiting for actual answers to my questions - actual how-to documentation, not just a description of advertised possibilities.

Question - in Caitlin, is the sticky Navigation bar supposed to show up on all devices? I don't see it on either my iPad or my iPhone. Those is true both of my website, and also true of the Caitlin demo on your website.

Are you talking about the menu?

Caitlin is a responsive template and depending on screen size the menu is a navigation bar or just a drop down menu:

I'm finding it hard to know which elements of the demo are genuinely part of the template, available for user customization; versus which are specific to specialized design work from J51 professionals using tools beyond the template itself.

Just view the demo, or use demoinstallaiton.zip to see where the templates features are coming from.

Look at "Template features" and you wil see which parts are modules and which parts you can adjust in the templates features.
