2. What are these templates and plugins for?

All these templates and plugins work with Show.kit 2.0. The minimum version needed to use the definite template or plugin is stated near the snapshot. You can access this gallery directly from your Show.kit or online and then add downloaded items from Show.kit or manually to the corresponding folder.

3. What is Show.kit? Can I try it for free?

Show.kit is a multi-template multimedia authoring tool that gives you the interface to create astonishing Flash and HTML websites, Flash presentations, Flash Intros and Flash preloaders. Create, upload, and go for a coffee... with Show.kit! It is a try-before-you-buy software, you can download the trial version for free here: http://www.eltima.com/download/showkit2 or at http://www.show-kit.com.

4. How do I add templates that I download into Show.kit?

You can add them using "Open template" button in Templates box, or manually placing them into Skins subdirectory (for website/presentation templates), Skins\Preloaders subdirectory (for preloader templates), Skins\Intros subdirectory (for Flash Intro templates) in Show.kit installation directory.

5. How do I use plugins for Show.kit?

Every plugin goes in a ZIP archive, it contains a DLL and a TXT file. Usually TXT file contains all the instructions you may need. Generally you have to point Show.kit to this DLL file with Project - Plugins - Manage plugins - Add plugin option.

6. What is a complete solution?

Complete solutions include color schemes, images, music and formatted texts for a definite template. It's like a Show.kit project: SKF file. All you need to do is to open this project in Show.kit 2.0 and you have a professionally customized template with colors, images and music combined according to solution's topic.

7. Sounds gallery sometimes crashes and returns unreadable content. What can I do?

It's the limitation of some browsers: when working with stream sounds they may screw the sound and try to represent it as text. All you have to do is refresh the web-page.

8. I have a complete solution I want to share with others. Is it possible to place it in this gallery?

Sure. Send it to us and we will place it here if it is attractive enough. Your author rights will be mentioned.
