Hello!
First thanx for a great work with the templates!

Some questions :)

1.a Is the original Sea Of Glass template installation pack made in Joomla 1.7?
1.b Is it recommended and ok to upgrade Sea Of Glass template to Joomla 2.5 version? What do you gain and How do Ido?

2. Is Community Builder (CB) working good with the Sea of Glass (SOG) Template Original? Is it better to install CB for extended reg filelds or is it easy to extend the user field and information in SOG? I'm also thinking about installing Extended Reg, Jnews, Joomfish, JFBconnect and the adding modules that comes with CB.

3. How do I change the grey colour on the text generelly in the template when it's a link. It's a little bit to dark I think. You don?t see It to well. 

4. Chosing Menu Item type - "List News Feeds in a Category". It write the word "filter" on the screen above the list news feed? How do I remove that?

5. The Search fuction is working but the layout seem strange.  Under the search box. There are black text "Search for" and then 3 points. After that it is scrollmenu with the text "Newest first" and below "Search only" and three empty small boxes?

6. The User menu is not working at all? (Your details, Submit news, Submit weblink, Check in my items, logout)
Best Regards SteveA

Are you talking about the demo or your own site?

1. Yes, the current SiteShaper is based on Joomla 1.7 and, yes, you can upgrade it to 2.5. You gain whatever Joomla added in 2.5
2. You need to work this out yourself, or ask on the CB forums. We don't include 3rd party extensions.
3. In template_css.css, around line 19, change the color in this -

a {
  color: #606060;
  text-decoration: none;
}

4. The easiest way is to find this in language/en-gb/en-gb.ini (or whatever language you use)-

JGLOBAL_FILTER_LABEL="Filter"

and change it to -

JGLOBAL_FILTER_LABEL=""

5. I'll need to see this, can you post a url?
6. You will need to set the menu up properly. If you have trouble, here is an excellent tutorial -
