We are actively working on a new style pack which will be based on less, will support HikaShop 3 and will be much better than the previous one and much easier to keep up to date in the future. Also, with HikaShop 3, HikaShop interface on the frontend is now responsive regardless of whether the template supports bootstrap 2 or not. So while you'll find less templates compatible with HikaShop 3 in the short term (because the have to update their template or build new templates for HikaShop 3), you'll actually have less issue in using HikaShop with any Joomla template, made for HikaShop or not. We also added new CSS options so that you can directly use the button classes of the template in HikaShop so that templates don't need to have specific CSS in order to customize the HikaShop buttons, and thus it will be easier for template providers to develop their own templates for HikaShop in the future. While the current situation might look like it's going downward with the availability of styling options, it's just a necessary pause to adapt to HikaShop 3, which provide much eaiser styling.

I have been testing other e-commerce solutions for Joomla, such as E-shop, J2Store and Virtuemart, all in their latest versions, but have decided to go with Hikashop 3. This is due to your upcoming new style pack, which I see as an essential part of Hikashop. In the meantime I have tried myself to have a go at it, looking for a "clean" and mobile friendly appearance. I have enclosed a screenshot and am pretty satisfied with it, except for the small images. I want to place them to the right of the main image (instead of below it). On full screen it works ok (see attached screenshot) but as soon as I change resolution, the images are all over the place ![;)](/media/kunena/emoticons/24.png ";)") Now, I am certainly not a programmer, but I am familiar with less, and perhaps @media screen is the way to go. I don't know, but to get them on the right side I styled them with the following: Code: .hikashop_small_image_div > a { float: left; margin: 0 3% 3% 0; width: 50%; } .hikashop_small_image_div { position: absolute; right: 0; top: 50%; transform: translateY(-100%); margin-right: 10%; width: 15%; } But there must be a better and more "stable" solution, such as a table or something. Does anyone have a stylesheet or custom code to place the small product images on the right side of the main image? Oh, by the way, when will the new Hikastyles be released (just approximately)? Thank you for writing good code! - [ ![Hika-Productview_2017-04-18.jpg](/forum/attachment/37709) ](/forum/attachment/37709 "...2017-04-18.jpg") [ ](/forum/attachment/37709?download=1 "...2017-04-18.jpg") Last edit: 9 years 6 months ago by [Jerome](/forum/user/80-jerome "View Jerome's Profile").

That way, when you update your HikaShop you'll have less potential issues than if you were modifying the view file to do the same thing. And yes, for small resolutions, you can use @media so that it will display fine regardless of the resolution. It's not difficult to use. Just englobe your CSS in a @media tag for the min/max width you want and that CSS will only apply in such cases. That way, you can have different CSS for different widths: [ www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3\_pr\_mediaquery.asp](https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_mediaquery.asp) We're half way through with the styles. They'll be available in a few months. I hope two, but I won't promise.
