  Hi there, do you mean "installation instructions" of Magento or the Template instructions.
  
  If template instructions, where do I find them?

  Hi there, it's been rough but the site is slowly coming together. I was wondering how I change the "Additional Information" design table on the product pages. I understand that it is referencing a php file but do I edit the design through there? or is there a way to do this else where...? (maybe I don't understand it as well as I'd hoped ...hah)
  
  Thanks!

    Hello Charlote, what exactly do you want to change here? The overall look is set by .data-table classes at boxes.css near line 250.

    Chris, you should check installation instruction for this template. Right now you should do at least this steps:
    - Please set home page layout to 3 column.
    - Create all statick blocks and set them enabled.
    - Go to admin, open any product and set it as new to show on main page.

  First of all let me thank you for a great theme!
  
  I was wondering if you know how to change the width on my category pictures? The picture that stands over the products. The different (home_main_) callout pictures.
  
  If you take a look at this link you will hopefully better understand what I am trying to explane. It now has a default width on 475 px. I would like to increase this so the picture fits the middle area completely:

    Hello Håkon, You should copy and edit next file from default template folder app\design\frontend\default\default\template\catalog\category\view.phtml. Please check for width="475" and remove it. All categories pictures will be show in original format.

  I was so glad when I saw your theme, excellent job guys.
  
  Is it possible to get the slider to start playing automatically without needing to click on the play button, or hover over it etc, just want it to play as soon as the homepage has loaded.
  
  Thank you in advance

    Hello Mark, please check showcase static block and replace autoGlide: false with autoGlide: true.

    Hello Chris, I think the better way is to hide child categories with css styles. Please let us know if you need some tips on it.

    It will require custom module codding. You can't do it with default magento modules.

      I renamed my header to say Featured instead of New Products
      edit new.phtml
      replace:
      __('New Products') ?>
      with:
      __('Featured') ?>

  And what file do I edit to change the left store catalog, smaller fonts and less space between the categories?
  
  I like the theme very much, but If you have a lot categories it's a big
  menu at the left. Collapsible can help, but the space between the categories is also big.
  
  Thanks.

    Frank, we would recommend to install firebug extension for firefox to locate each style you need.
