Just when you think the team at RocketTheme has outdone themselves with last month’s template, along come the “Affinity“.  This jam packed extension theme also incorperates itself with multiple third party add-ons.  You can build your site using this theme to include the ever popular JomSocial, the community component; K2, the advanced content application; Community Builder, the profile extender; and phpBB3 (you can have phpBB3 themed identically with the RocketTheme’s phpBB3 related theme).

The team at Templateplazza hit one out of the part with it’s latest theme called Showcase plazza.  For some time we have been seeing this style of themes/templates around the WordPress platform, but this is a first, to our knowledge, for the Joomla environment.  It is really nice to see new ideas spawn in the Joomla development community.

The Showcase plazza theme is geared towards, as the name would imply, showcasing various sites, however with a little bit of tweaking it can be customized to display whatever one wants.  There are two extensions included in the theme that we at ThemeLoft.com thought were outstanding additions, they are TopMenu w/Desc (this is more of a snippet) and the TPShowcase component.

Well, they’ve done it again!  Another great theme by RocketTheme, this one’s called SolarSentinel.  When we first opened our morning RSS reads and noticed that RocketTheme had delivered it’s May ‘09 theme slightly early, our hearts started pounding with excitement and could not wait to test it out.  Thus far we have only tested the front end of the template via their demo, and what a beauty of a job they have done.  Can’t wait to try out all of their new extensions.
