I am sooo excited about the Cobalt 8 release, that i had to try it out immediately (especially after reading about the "Comptibility Switch" in the blog post).
Regarding the templates:
By default Beez3 had serious problems while protostar works very well with C8.
After activating the "Template compatibility" under the configuration settings everything was ok and Beez3 looks perfect !!!!!!!
Now I installed all Rockettheme templates for J3.0 and wanted to test the compatibility. This was always one of the weaknesses of Cobalt before.
To make it short, with the "Template compatibility" switch ON, ALL templates work. Only complain as of now is with the pagination. Some of the templates do not show it properly, but all the rest works totally as expected. The same with yootheme templates. Just switch on the "Template compatibility" and it simply works.
Amazing. :O
No need for special template packs anymore.
The overall "feeling" is also much smoother.
I converted my J2.5 Cobalt7 data to Joomla3 with Cobalt8 and small things like the the visible filterarea (just visible for a moment) when the pages comes up (if there are many filter) is a "problem" of the past. It does simply not happen anymore.
I dont want to go back to J2.5 and C7 anymore.
Thank you - Joomla3 and the new Cobalt8 CCK. :D
