Hi great theme but how do I make it usable on a mobile device like an iphone? All the text is far too small on a phone and the buttons are not for the fat fingered
Hi,
We will improve the responsive functionality in the next major update. For now we have made this article which will show you how to make the forms responsive.
Regards, TC
Hi,
Very sorry but I thought this was regarding the Quform plugin. Storm WordPress is NOT responsive. We will be designing a new full screen background theme (which will be responsive) sometime in the future.
However, you can still add custom media queries to enlarge buttons and text for phones for your website.
Sorry about the confusion.

I didn’t buy the wordpress theme ( i have actually bought this twice as I lost the original passwords etc and bought with an old email address but needed tgo ask the question about iphone, mobile useablity)
Why when entering some email addresses in the contact form I recieve the email, and with other not? Example. I tried asif@hotmail.com and I did recieve it. Then tried kouli@freemail.gr and I did not
thanks
Did more tests and seems like its working.. not sure what happened.
Is it possible to auto-send back a confirmation email to their address once they complete the contact form?
Open the file documentation/form-documentation/index.html and follow the section “Sending the form user an autoreply email”

Hi, greate work with this template. I’m trying to change the menu items color and cannot seem to change it from white. Where is the main section of css for this? I cannot seem to work it out. I’ve changes the color wherever I thought possible and it still shows white text. Also I notice that the menu items have classes ie. class=”home”, class=”contact” etc, but there are not such class names in the stylesheet.
I’m sure its something simple and I just cannot see it… must be the long hours.
thanks
Hi,
There is a section at the bottom of the stylesheet for changing these colors. Look for the comment heading called “20. CHANGE THE FONT COLOUR SCHEME”. This is why if you change the code above this it won’t work. You can see the white color is the #f7f7f7 color. But this is used for all links.
If you wish to only change just the nav link color here is the CSS which you can add at the very bottom of your stylesheet.
ul#horz-nav-ul li a {color: #99ef28;}
ul#horz-nav-ul li a:hover {color: #dd0b95;}
The reason these classes are added on the li are so that you can have an “On page” state for the nav. For example; on your index.html page you can add a body class called “home” – <body class="home"> Now you can add this CSS to indicate you are on the home page:
body.home ul#horz-nav-ul li.home a {color: #dd0b95;}
Regards, TC
thank you
another class a cannot seem to change is the email link in the content page. There is the class email, but changing the color does not seem to work. Links appear white with orange hover.
Hi,
Here is the selector for it so you can add this and modify the colors.
.email a {color: #eaff00; border-bottom-color: #eaff00;}
.email a:hover {color: #ff0000; border-bottom-color: #ff0000;}

thanks
I did something stupid and I bought this thinking it was the theme for wordpress, is there any solution to transform it into a wordpress theme??
The only way is to get a refund for this version and purchase the WordPress version.

Hello.
I bought this template

or which programs have i to use to change informations and pics for my page?

This template is standalone HTML/CSS, not designed for a specific system. We have a WordPress version of Storm, if you are interested.

Hello,
Could someone help about customizing the main navigation bar? (the one to the right of the logo).
By default it looks like breadcrumbs, but I’d like to have simple regular boxes, i.e. Company, Services, Partners, Contact Us, etc.
Thanks, T.
Hi,
Is this what you would like? Please add the following CSS into the Theme Options Panel – Advanced – Custom CSS:
ul#horz-nav-ul > li > a {
background-image: none;
padding-right: 20px;
border-left: 1px solid #111;
border-right: 1px solid #222;
}
ul#horz-nav-ul > li > a:hover {
background-image: none;
}
Regards, TC
Actually I think you mean this:
#nav-wrap, #nav-wrap-inner {
background: none transparent;
border: none 0;
}
ul#horz-nav-ul > li > a {
background-image: none;
padding-right: 20px;
background: #121212;
border: 1px solid #222;
margin-right: 3px;
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;
}
ul#horz-nav-ul > li > a:hover {
background-image: none;
}
#horz-nav-ul ul {margin-top: 8px;}

Thanks a lot, this solved the issue. Regards, T.
Hi,
PS: If you have not purchased this product – please do so.
Thanks, TC
Hi,
I bought the theme yesterday. Seems to be a nice one, so far but struggling with the navigation bar. Why there’s no practical way to customize it? (or if there, is where?)
The MUSTs to be done with navigation bar are:
- Setting a fixed tab width within the navigation bar regardless of the text (i.e. the width of “References” should be equal to “Contacts” regardless of the difference in word length, how to do this?
- It must be possible somewhere to arrange the order of tabs (i.e. if I want to have order of “About Us | Services | Partners” vs “About Us | Partners | Services” , where to do this?
Another thing, which I assume shall be more easily possible but that I haven’t figure out is changing the color & width of top bar (the thick black bar by default)
Thanks in advance for support. T.
Hi,
Sorry the CSS code I gave you won’t work properly in my first post, it’s the CSS for the Storm HTML template. You have posted on the HTML/CSS template board, not the WordPress theme board. Maybe that’s why it shows you have not purchased. If you purchased the WordPress theme can you post on this board please?
Regards, TC
Hello!
I bought this theme and I think it’s great!, Just want to know if in the home page could use code for background images (transitions) and apply them to the container “welcome box” to create different containers that appear and disappear in sync with background images. and if you could tell me how to copy it.
Thank you very much and I hope your comment.
There isn’t an easy way to do it, you would need to edit the fullscreen background plugin. Copy the contents of the file storm/js/jquery.fullscreen.js into storm/js/jquery.fullscreen.min.js and modify it to suit. You would a JavaScript developer.

gracias =)!
thnks!
Hello!
I also noticed that my site is no longer fetching tweets. Is this issue fixed in an update? How can I update my site, without losing formatting styles?
Unfortunately I noticed since a few months my site isn’t working well in Firefox. The fonts in the navigationbar on top are a bit pixilated. Can you help me with that? Site link: http://www.buwaldafotografie.nl/
Many thanks in advanche!
Greetz, Lara
$(window).load(function() {
And ends with:
}); // End (window).loadReplace the block of code including the lines above, with this code:
$(window).load(function() {
// Load the Twitter feed
if (twitterUsername && tweetCount > 0) {
(function() {
var t = document.createElement('script'); t.type = 'text/javascript'; t.src = 'http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=' + twitterUsername + '&count=' + tweetCount + '&include_rts=1&callback=twitterCallback2';
var h = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]; h.appendChild(t);
})();
}
}); // End (window).load
2. The nav font looks fine to me in Firefox. Could you be zoomed in/out in the browser? Try going to View -> Zoom -> Reset
Regards, TC
Found the issue was fixed in an update. Downloaded the newer version and everything working fine now.
Just noticed that my site is no longer fetching tweets. Has there been a change (probably at Twitter’s end) that invalidates the scripting used by this template?
Hello.
I purchased this theme (HTML) some time ago and have been nothing but absolutely pleased with the product. I started off with the template without using the Blog. Now, I am interested in using the Blog but I am new at blogging. I understand that WordPress is perfect for blogging. With that in mind, can I still use the blog feature as successfully with the HTML template?
James
Hi,
With the HTML template the blog has no functionality, so you need to either add all posts and links manually in the HTML. Or use the blog template design and build into a blogging system to manage blogs. However, as the WordPress version is ready to use it would save you a lot (in my opinion) of time (and hassle) by using WordPress to manage your blog.
If you have already set up the HTML version and are reluctant to start the whole site again in WordPress, you could just use the WordPress version for the blog and link to it via the HTML version.
I would say that learning and using WordPress would help save you time in the long run – especially if you are blogging.
I hope that helps. Regards, TC
Thank you. Your response helped a lot. I think that I am going to go ahead and purchase the WP theme and migrate my information from my current site.
Have a great day.
James
I think this template is awesome and I want to buy it, but I wanted to check… does this automatically resize for tablets and mobile devices?
Hi,
No, Storm is not a responsive theme. We will make some responsive themes soon. Storm is only designed for larger screens although it should function just fine on devices.
Regards, TC
If this is a Template only how do I get it install so I can get started on my website. Hopefully I haven’t purchased something I am unable yo use. If so I would like a refund so I can actually purchased a Wordpress Theme.
It looks like you purchased the HTML version, the WordPress version is here.
You can ask Envato for a refund, as they handle this.

Hi Can you scroll through the help files does not
I don’t understand, can you rephrase the sentence. If you want to post in your own language we can use a translate tool.

Hello, I bought the site, but not what you need to do the moving picture homepage 
It doesn’t show that you purchased this product. If you bought the WordPress version, can you post a comment here.

Hi TC,
Really a beautiful theme and I’m finishing designing my new web site with a few nice customizations!
In the “contact” page, how do you centre vertically the main box “content-inner” within the browser window?
Can I upgrade to Fancy box 2? Does it only need updating with the newest files or more?
Many thanks, Thierry
Hi,
1: Well you could position the content-inner box using absolute positioning. But there will be scrolling issues if the page is too small for the content, remember every screen size is different. You could just add a top margin to be roughly in the middle. I don’t know exactly what you are trying to achieve so it’s hard to advise, can you send more info and perhaps a link?
My colleague will get in touch about the Fancy box question.
Regards, TC
You would need to update the Fancybox JS/CSS files to Fancybox 2. Some of the Fancybox options might have changed names so you’d need to find and fix the ones that have changed if you have any problems. The code calling Fancybox is in the js/scripts.js file.
Regards, TC
Thanks for the quick reply.
Re the Fancybox 2 update that shouldn’t be too much trouble then.
Regarding my 1st request, it is trickier… I’m trying to keep the contact form “content-inner” box centred both horizontally and vertically in the middle of the page regardless of the monitor size/resolution so it is therefore positioned right in the middle of the screen.
Something like this but I’m still struggling to get it to work:

Hi, I’ve purchased the HTML version of this template – but I’ve noticed that it doesn’t appear to be the same as the WordPress version? In particular, I’m trying to get titles to appear on the backgrounds, the WP version has this but the HTML version doesn’t. Is there a reason for that?
Is it just a case of getting the latest version of the plugin to support titles?
Many Thanks,
Carl
The HTML version was developed a couple of years before the WP version. It’s missing these features that were added when developing the WP version. We would like to add these features to the HTML version, but we have decided to focus on building new themes and plugins instead.
As a workaround you can put titles on the images manually, in Photoshop for example and upload them again. Although the positioning may not be perfect on all browser sizes.
Regards, TC
Just saw that storm was finally upgrade for Wordpress. Congrats and just a quick question. So customers who purchased this have to repurchase to get the wordpress version correct?
Hi, yes they are two completely separate products although share the same Storm Design. So you would need a new purchase for the Theme. Regards, TC
Interesting, I purchased the theme based on the numerous comments you posted on how a Wordpress update would be coming month after month. Didn’t think this would get left out. Thanks for the response.
You could contact Envato and ask for a refund for the HTML version if you didn’t use it. I can’t guarantee it will be successful though.
