I'll try to have an updated archive of the theme for people to play with shortly.
I haven't been keeping up with the nightly builds so I'm not sure what the cause of the issue might be with more recent builds. Unfortunately, I've got modifications into some of core files, so upgrading isn't a good option.
Rebecca: I was going to say the easiest option would probably be to set the CSS for the image title to be no-display or make the text the same colour as the background, but it looks like you already fixed it.
Williamz: I did indeed a google search a while back to find some first sites for our then new showcase page. The most used themes seemed to me default (and it's sterile variant) and stopdesign.
It should be possible to make such a .mac theme you posted, since jQuery provides all sorts of these ajax stuff and is the standard libary in the nightly builds. So you are invited to make it...:-)
Alex: That would be great. Try if you can do your core modifications with plugins which are new in the nightly. We have a tutorial about that on our site.
Just wanted to pop in here and give up some Kudos. This has been a nice minimal, high-impact theme.
I've been fiddling around with it and while I'm pretty much lost with PHP, my knowledge of basic HTML and CSS has let me custom this to my liking. My only last issue that remains is trying to center the image title on the bottom. It seems to align or float left. I'd prefer it to be centered. The only way I can do this is if I add "align=center" to in album.php But this creates some strange padding (extra space) on the main image that shifts it off-center. I've tried unsuccessfully for several hours now to try to find the right combination of tags or styles in both the CSS files and album.php to force the title to center, but nothing works. Anyone happen to know what to add or edit to get this to work?
And is there a way to get images to align to the top? (valign=top). My images are all different sizes, and it seems that the image is set to align in the middle. I have a mixture of images in both portrait and landscape mode and the landscape images have a lot of padding between the image navigation and the actual images.
If anyone could lend a hand it'd be really appreciated. Thanks!
I like the theme but it's a little too custom. Which I understand since it wasn't develop to be universal but to fit one photographer's need.
I think the main attraction for me is the thumbnail slider at the bottom of the page and the simple fade-in fade out transition it brings. I'd love to be able to integrate it with my current theme (or even just the default theme so we can see how it can be done cleanly). Ideally, I'd want to use to it browse from photo to photo in image.php, not album.php so I can still have my comments, rating, ...
I am guessing it relies on the fact that it's much easier to get a list of images and thumbnail in the album context than it is in an image context ? Doesn't seem impossible though, right ?
