As for the IE6/PNG problem, I figured out why pngfix.js wasn't working -- it just runs once on page load, so it doesn't help with dynamically loaded images like jCarousel. Right now, IE6 makes about 30% of the browsers -- sizeable, but I'm probably going to ignore that problem for a bit. The easy solution at this point is to just make non-transparent arrows the match my background.

I've also seen intermittent problems where the thumbs load up in the jCarousel scroller either stretched or at a funny offset. Not sure what the cause of that is, I've only had it happen in IE on my machine, but I've seen in in both IE and FF on others. Odd. Any insight from anyone on how to solve that would be most appreciated.

Other than that, things seem to be working well. A few other notes/warnings:
-I haven't yet really cleaned up the code at all, so CSS is spread all over the place, hardcoded links, hardcoded image sizes, etc.
-Don't expect image.php, archive.php, or search.php to look nice or maybe even work -- I'm not using them on my site at the moment, so I haven't touched them.
-I've got my gallery set to use 600px images, and 85x85 thumbs.
-I also have the images and subalbums per page limit set to 999.
-Comments, ratings, and search are off. You'll also have to keep it set on the dark theme colour setting.

Wow, beautiful theme !
I try it and everything is ok with ie, but with firefox i've got errors when i try to change photo (when i click "next" i've got an error in the url (i've got in the url "#undefined" instead of "#img002.jpg").

And you missing to join "jquery.hotkeys.js" on your package
Sorry for my bad english !!)

Thanks again, and I hope you will be update your theme !

Hmm... not sure about the Firefox issue -- I do all of my development testing with FF, so I'm not sure why it isn't working for you and IE is. Is your installation on a live server I can see?

You can grab the hotkeys script from here until I do my next update:
http://code.google.com/p/js-hotkeys/

With more test, I think that there are some problem with file name.
You can see the bug on this adress:

when you click on "next" or previous, you have the error.
With IE it's look ok

But again, it's a beautiful theme ! Congratulation!!!

Yeah, I think it's the spaces in the file names (I never have any)... It might be a problem in the original Galleria script, I'll have a look at it for the next version.

I just tried the theme to see what it was all about. I havent looked that much into the code however I have a question.

Is google maps compatible with this theme, or is it completely off or does it have to be changed alot. And yes, Comments are they off as well.

Great work with this one, keep up the good work.

Since I've been primarily tweaking it for my own use, stuff like comments are pretty much ripped out.

Not sure how much work would be required to get comments or maps or other image-specific stuff working -- the theme is really driving off of album.php, and image.php isn't even used. That means I'd expect I'll have to jump through some hoops to get any image-specific stuff working. I'm thinking it'll meaning storing all that sort of info in JavaScript -- possibly making a custom callback function that the image switch event can call and then re-populate areas of the page as needed.

The way I dealt with image related stuff in the simpleviewer personality of Effervescence+ was to provide a link on the flash display to take the viewer to the imaage page for "more information". Don't know if you can do that, but it makes it much simpler to allow image comments, etc.

AlexWilson: Please let us know when you think that the theme is ready to be added to our themes page.

Okay, I'm going to be kept up all night trying to make my site look 1/3 as good as AlexWilson's :) Just loading the "other/urban" pics while I type this.

Boo hoo, I'm not seeing any images, just black "thumb squares".

Hi, I have just installed this theme and I would like to know if this theme can include the photo descriptions, rating, users' comments and exif data or not.

Thanks.

And also having slideshow function?

My current version just supports titles and tags (I use the tags for the image alt attribute, and both the title and tags together for the title attribute, hopefully to help with SEO).

Adding descriptions/rating/comments gets a little tricker if you want them to show up on the album view page. If you want to change the image link to go to image.php, then you can have all that stuff there no problem. Getting it to work on the album page will require some fancier JavaScript/AJAX work -- but since I'm not planning on using comments/ratings/etc. myself, it's low priority.

Slideshow is something I am interested in adding. I don't think it's going to be too hard, I just need to figure out what sort of controls it needs and where to stick them. I'm going to try to have that for an upcoming version.

Slideshow is not very hard to add. It's designed generic as a dark to black grey page with basically just the image to fit for all. Since slideshow is a plugin, you'll have to use the nightly for this. Just install the plugin and copy slideshow.php from any of the default themes to your theme. All you have to do then is to add thte slideshow link to your page (works from album and image pages).
See our already updated functions guide or the plugin file itself for more info about options.

Actually I like your album view page, so don't want to use the image.php. So any clues that I can modify by myself? Is it easy as I don't know much about php.

I have added <?php printImageDesc(true); ?> in the album page but no description can be retrieved. Don't know why.

On the album page there is no imagedesc available, that only works on image.php (in single image context).
That is indeed not that easy if you don't know much about php...

I've updated my live site with a slideshow now -- it's based on timer code that plugs into jQuery.

Nicely done.

Great job. I was thinking do you want to do a bit of a dissolve effect between slides.

in album.php look for this line:
`image.css('display','none').fadeIn(200);`
and change number (it's the milliseconds to take to fade in) to a higher value for for a slower fade -- I set mine fast to keep things snappy :)

At least, that's the way it works in FireFox. IE seems more abrupt, not sure if a longer values gives you a better fade with it.
