This is THE tool for customizing your templates!

No more hacking, no more guessing, no more wasted hours trying to adjust one small thing.

This component has very little documentation, but for the most part you don't really need documentation.

One reviewer complained about no way to edit the copyright... Well, that is no longer true, the copyright has an edit screen now... They forgot to give us access to the date field, so they need to add one line to the copyright page and this issue is resolved. That means they listen to their users, so that is a good thing.

This component is great for people that have been using joomla for a while, and know the basics of how the modules work. For the experienced template designer, it is a great time saving tool. However for the novice Joomla user, expect to spend some time figuring out how templates and modules work, as it is not documented here.

This is a no-nonsense control panel based template tool. Once your template is finished, you can copy it to another site, without needing the component. So the joomla professional will want to install it in a workspace where they can use it in their day to day site design effort.

I don't know what the limits are with this. I see sometemplates out there, like the one at demo.joomlabamboo.com that I wouldn't have any idea how to implement with EXP Templates, it might be possible and I just don't know how. The point being that a professional template designer will probably be able to do more than a novice such as myself. I've been hacking at templates for 3 years, and I have learned a lot, but not enough to be good. This tool would make me good instantly. A pro would probably increase his productivity with this tool.

It is rough around the edges, I found two minor bugs, but nothing to stop me from using it. Those bugs will be fixed by the time you read this.
