Well after two weeks of trail and error since I’m no php programmer I’m starting to get the hang of it ;)

My theme it not so much about design right now since I first wanted some basic functionality; here what I added;

1)I personally hate paging of thumbs and always find my self looking for the show more option I added a “show all thumbs�? and “show all albums�?.

2)For slideshow reasons we need a current image number so after that … yess a slideshow with a nice but simple and effective fade out/in effect ! thinking of a simple 3line lightbox but I kind a liked it the waqy it is right now. maybe in the furture when I will swtich to a lighter theme.

Al is done in a plugin.php with no altering of the original files, so maybe in the future this will help for upgrading and sharing uppon a none beta release.

Let me know what you think ;)

still hungry for that exif, rss, and tags in that next release ;)

almost forgot ... added arrow key navigation when viewing the large image for usability as well as the slideshow I did not want to break the url or back button with javascript or ajax but I guess with the preload it works oke like this? ... ;)

Where can we download it?

Cimi:
Nice job here. I like the "show all thumbnails" feature too. (although on my dialup it takes awhile to load the page :()

Great photography on your part. Keep up the good work. I'm appreciative of what people are doing for Zenphoto so that I can take advantage of it!

Great theme! Why? Love the color combi, and the functionality. I applaud you for the "show all thumbs" and the "slideshow element", however, the latter is not really working the way i would have wanted it. The transition to the next slide is not as smooth as it should be.... could you do something to make the frame stable and not collapse while waiting for the next pic to load...?

Yes, well it runs oké at my place but I've got a fast internet connection ... but when I was at a friend’s house yesterday and viewed it on a mac the caching and fading were a whole different story. As I did not want to break the browsers url and back button.... I changed my mind ;) zenphoto provides us with a prev, current and next image I will try to make it so with existing ajax this does mean the page url would change but for slideshow reasons this might not have be a problem. and I will skip the fade and work on a slide. keep you posted.

oké, that ajax thing is gonna take a while got it somewhat working with the mooflex ajax lib but i'm no crack at this ;)... it did tested the slideshow now with http://www.xk72.com/charles/ which allows me to tighten the bandwitdh and I see what you are aiming at... since the onload is on the current image and not on the next it might want to go to the next which is not loaded with in 5 sec. so I will put the onload on the next image underwater... as far as the collapse.. with smart caching this does not happen but I will set a min-height for the image so that firefox safari and IE7 will not collapse during load. thats it ;) I''l fix it next week or so....

cheers, webdev!

Hi Webdev,

Your theme is really great. The design, especially the dark grey is the best way to enhance your photos.

The “show all thumbs�? and “slideshow�? functions are really convenient.

Do you plan to release your theme for download ?
I would really be interested to get the “show all thumbs�? and “slideshow�? functions for my own gallery.

Thanks

actually it's dark brown ;) I will release the theme when ready ... since I've got to work out some minor bugs ;)
