Club porsche is cool, I also liked customization with logo and navigation on top.

I also like your customization of the gallery. Sweet pictures as well, I can almost smell the fuel from some of those images

Very nice ...

Just a few minor details that I was thinking:
1. Sometimes the menu overlaps the image being displayed, and since the menu has very low opacity, it makes it a bit hard to read. I would consider using higher opacity(less transparency) so that the menu items are more readable. It wouldnt change the looks much, because the colors of your menu are almost the same as the background anyway ... For example go to your theme -> menu.mainmenu.menuback.opacity_rollover set it much higher ...

2. It would look more pro if the "menu de la galerie" has some margin on the left side. You could either reduce the font-size for the menu-button, or set a few pixels offset to the left, or set a minimum-width for the menu ...

Not important, just thoughts that occurred to me! Well done!

Thanks for your comment!

mjau-mjau:

1- You're right, I have just increase the opacity, it is better.
2- I want to have the margin for the menu. like this
"Menu de la galerie"
--Accueil
--Auto
--... etc..

I find this is more "logical". But where can I change the title of the menu button, I want to change "Menu de la galerie" in "Menu".

3- Another question, in the thumbnails page, where can I change the color of the little square which represent a page, under the thumbnails area?

2. To change the text for the menu button, go to admin -> languages -> On the right, click to edit the french language file. Scroll down to where it says "mainmenu:" and edit the language item there ...

3. Unfortunately you cant change the color of the square that represents a thumbnails page, because we are trying to not have millions of settings for everything. It inherits its colors from FOREGROUND_COLOR ... You have two main colors 1. foreground_color and 2. background_color. Make sure they are contrasting so that foreground elements look good on the general background ...

Hi everybody!

I have made an update of my website. It is very simple, just a selection of my best photos. All the reports are on my "blog" ...

What do you think about it? The large photos are not too long to download?

I like the fullscreen images effect ... Just wondering shouldn't there still be some navigation available? I was looking for arrows on the far left and far right ...

I think the slightly longer wait is worth it considering the image quality. However, I see your images are at 2560width ... It would perhaps be an idea to resize down at least a little, as it would often shrink to half the filesize. Not many people have screens this big ... Perhaps the biggest screen that up to .5% have, is 1920 resolution ... However, more than 90% will be on 1280 px or smaller.

Maybe I would consider making the width 1600px or even 1280px ... Still big images, and 95%+ would not see any difference, whereas they would probably be down to 1/4 of the filesize ...
