Versatility IV Custom Extensions (versatility4-extensions-j15.zip) This package contains each of the individual custom extensions included in the Versatility4 template release.
Versatility IV Source PNG(s) (versatility4-sources.zip) This zip contains the source PNG(s) for making modifications and customisations to the images in the template (and if applicable, the font used for the logo). You will need an image editing software (preferably Adobe/Macromedia Fireworks) to utilise the Source PNG files.
Versatility IV RocketLauncher (Joomla_RT_Versatility4_j15.zip) This is the RocketLauncher pack for Versatility4 which is a complete and separate Joomla install which has the template pre-installed and configured. Similarly, the demo content is injected and the extensions are also pre-installed.
