* the fact that albums (categories) are displayed as thumbnails, even if it would be good to make it more obvious they are albums, not photos

Yes, this is something I have to think about.
I'm not entirely satisfied with this.
(the main difference is the fact the albums have a name... not the photos... I'm not entirely satisfied with this).

* the lighter background color behind photo description, I won't have set any specific background

When there is only the title (with no background), I find that something is missing...
Anyway that's something very easy to modify with CSS.
(or better... with an option on the configuration page... i'll add it on my "todo list").

* on the photo, the area which triggers the display of the previous/next thumbnail is too short

I'm not entirely satisfied with this either.
In fact, I'm not a big fan of displaying the thumbnails on the image... I'm not sure I'll keep it on my gallery.
On the theme, I'll keep it, but maybe not this way.
(I already had to disable the thumbs for several plugins)

The position of the "12/43" and navigation icons was a difficult thing to decide.
If everything is outside the box... that's a lot on the line if you are in admin mode.

Very good job Zaphod. Would you like to add your theme in the Subversion repository?

I don't understand the question ;)

I didn't find a way to display exif without displaying the exif button.
I have a solution for this so it will be possible in the next version.

Anyway, you can display exif by using Advanced MetaData plugin.

I see today on your test gallery that you moved the navigation icons the way I was recommending.

I think it is very good. Do you like it?

I made a little customization (CSS only) to get an even more simplified style. I like it very much!

The navigation icons at the top.
I think it's ok now... there was a problem with the "inline-block" property.

Hello Zaphod,

I downloaded the theme. Installed it and works great! Thank you for sharing this with the community.

I have two questions on the demo theme here: http://www.audreyetjulien.fr/galerie/

How would I get it to by default have the menu pop out when someone visits my gallery?

Also how would I get it to have a banner at the top like in the demo?

Thank you,

Johnny

To show the menu by default, you have to add via Local Files Editor a CSS rule
(tab CSS, create a "local / css / stripped-rules.css)

And put these lines :

.js #menubar {
  display: block;
}

This will stay even if the theme is updated.



For the banner, I have put this is "Configuration / Options / Banner" field:

<div id="banner">&nbsp;</div>

And then with Local Files Editor, CSS tab, "local / css / rules.css"

#banner {
  max-width:1120px;
  height:93px;
  margin-top:10px;
  text-align:center;
  background: transparent url(http://www.audreyetjulien.fr/galerie/local/banner.png)
}

The banner image is just a simple png where I rounded the corners with Gimp.
