X3Photo Gallery Forums

I've also created a v2.beta section on my site. Although I modified the theme somewhat, I didn't spend too much time on that, because with a new update those changes will be gone.

The site is http://www.hw-photo.nl/v2/

Some extra features I would like to see:
Possible to add a name/site information like you could put the title of the gallery above the imaged window in v1. Now it's not a full website, but only part of it, which v1 was.
Sitemenu, with the possibility of a contact form.
Maybe even a way to order pictures? I can see that I can add the price of a picture in the admin section, but it doesn't do much yet.

Some bugs:
When I want to create a new theme, or copy the settings of another one, I can change all options, but then when I save it, the normal theme is changed, and the newly added theme isn't reachable anymore. When I click edit on the new theme in the admin section I'll just get a blank screen.

However, It looks very nice already.

On the thumbnail view, if you rollover an image, it gets enlarged. Default is 150%. However, this shows the images with blocked pixels, artifacts. Isn't it an idea to create thumbnails of 150px and then in the thumbnail view show them as 67%, and with mouseover at 100%? Just an idea?

Thanks for your feedback.

Of course, the scale effect could be completely substituted with something more subtle, like fade effect (thumbnails.thumbnail.active_opacity)

The small image-bar in showcase view (Mac-like) does use 50% images too, and that looks good, I guess.

I tried to change the scaling into opacity changing, but the scaling option does work much more intuitive. I really like the way the scaling is done, so that's a thing I want to use on the final site.

I've updated my site with the latest version, and changed some theme settings. It's now at http://www.hw-photo.nl/v2/

As you can see it starts with a textpage saying Welcome bla bla bla, and showing an image below it. Unfortunately I cannot find a way to center the image in the textbox. The image itself is 460 pixels, the margins set on 20, and the width of the textbox is 500. However it shows wider, and therefor not showing the picture in the middle.

Is there a solution for it?
