    Are 3PDs required to support this theme (or is it up to them)?  I ask because typically (at least for the 7-8 3PDs I've worked with) they guarantee their own 3PD products to function properly with the SE 'Default' Theme (which is now Insignia) and their own Themes, but no guarantees of compatibility with other 3PD products.  Thanks.

    This would be considered a purchased theme so it would be up to them whether to have their plugins work with it for free or as a customization to them. Good question!

    Beautiful! Clean! Elegant! The new theme looks just awesome. Its of great use for the users who want simple yet attractive theme for their SocialEngine community. This theme has the prefect balance between look and content, appreciation for the SocialEngine developers for this nicely developed theme.

    Is the Demo using the Mobile Plugin?  I see the links for Full or Mobile site which is why I'm asking.  I thought this was a Responsive Theme and didn't require the Mobile Plugin.

    It doesn't require the mobile plugin. The demos are automatically generated from one base install and that install has mobile.

    So is there a way to see how Responsive the Atlas Theme is on its own (i.e. w/o Mobile)? I prefer to not use Mobile - it shouldn't be needed if a theme is responsive 'enough'.

    I will see if we can somehow get that removed without messing up the other one.

    I manually disabled it but once the auto-refresh runs, it will be enabled again until something can be changed.

    Thanks anyway for trying 

    Since so many 'Responsive' themes still rely on Mobile and/or are not very Responsive, I was hoping to test Atlas out on its own to see how Responsive it actually is, w/o mobile interfering (like it does here in the forums).

    But I manually changed it for you yesterday so you could see. Didn't you get a chance to see it before it changed back?

    My apologies, but I didn't realize I had a day to do this due to not knowing how long before auto-refreshes. But that's okay because my suggestion is that the demo shouldn't have Mobi anyway in order to demonstrate to everyone how Responsive Atlas is. It sortof defeats the purpose of the Demo if one can't actually test (at any time) a primary reason for purchasing the Theme.

    We're working on a solution for this.
