Let me know what you think of it. I guess the colors must be a bit lighter but I have a very bad laptop screen...
Just one issue as far as my use of the Theme currently. Reflect the transparency of the navcarousel presentation. It seems that the transparency parameters evident in other themes are not reflected in GreyDragon. I notice it also in www.ajorge.net too.
Can you explain that a bit more? Are have a screenshot? I don't see issues with navcarousel in greydragon.
GuyVerschuere: Perfect color! Thank you so much. Will the color fade from dark to light as it does on all your color packs? Either way we really like what you have done.
@mervyngroves: take a look at the source from both examples. For some reasen that's totally different. The first uses LI within an UL. The second uses javascript. Anyway, it must be in the css somewhere. My Blog My Gallery

This theme is truly awesome! Easy to customise even for a novice like me. I'd like to make a few minor mods, and not sure where to go to do these. I've had a look at some of the CSSs, but I couldn't see anything that I thought might do it. Changes I'd like to make are:
1. The photo titles in the thumbnails all get displayed as upper case, but I'd like them to appear as entered, a mix of uper and lower case.
2. On the individual photo pages, I'd like the title above the photo and the description below to be centred.

@Grosey: open screens.css and search for uppercase. You'll find it at .g-thumbslide:hover .g-description.
Remove text-transform: uppercase; or have it like this
Quote:
/* text-transform: uppercase; */
/* */ make's a comment in css and disables that part.
Thanks, Guy, that was easy.
Any tips for the second part of my query? I suspect that the code is somewhere in Screen.CSS - Photo, but I'm not sure what are the fields for the title above the photo and the detail below, despite searching for left, to replace with center.

Two for the wishlist when using Fancybox;
Add opacity to the login-box after clicking login.
Add opacity to exif info box, so you can still see the underlaying image.

Serge it's great to see continual improvements in GreyDragon. I just updated and was happy to note the option to not have sidebar on the photo page. This is just one of the improvements that we all are happy to see added as time goes on. I think I went from v2.4.2 to 2.4.8 and also to experimental G3 (I unleashed a bug which had made my site invisible, but Bharat fixed G3 and walked me through a restoration. Nothing to do with GreyDragon).

I'm not real familiar with the theme but took a quick look at the code for the demo. Try adding this line to your css: #g-info { text-align:center; }

Thanks for that, tempg, worked fine.
I also figured that #g-info referred to the description below the photo, so I added text align centre to that, which works fine, so all of my issues have now been resolved.

@geewee: if module uses custom page.html.php, then it overwrites theme's functionality.
I think it is a limitation of the G3 itself and would be nice if some abstraction would be added so main page structure is not touched.

I've made a few changes to my install of graydragon over some period of time and wondering if some of it can be cleaned up, done another way, or made part of graydragon.
The main one is so that I could do things differently on album.html.php and photo.html.php. I put an identifying DIV on each page. Is there a better way to do this or can this or similar identifying DIV be added to graydragon?
1. in photo.html.php, I've added a DIV around the whole page. At about line 22
?>
<div id="g-photo-html"> <!-- Added so CSS can be used to style differently than other pages. -->
<?php
and at the end
</div> <!-- end g-photo.html -->
and in album.html.php:
<div id="album.html">
and
a closing div at the end of the page.
These go with /css/colorpacks/greydragon/colors.css at about line 34 in /* styles.css Album Layout
/*#g-info .g-description { border: #737373 1px solid; } Changed to left justify and remove border*/
#g-album-html #g-info .g-description { text-align: left; }
and about line 55 under /* styles.css Photo Layout
I also have some changes under /* styles.css Common
Is this the best place for making this kind of change? This, of course, would only be in my installation.
Thanks for any comments. I'm trying to lessen my chances for messing up when I update.

@MtnBiker: all that can be done with existing id structure
#g-album-header/#g-album-grid for album pages
#g-item for photo pages
both CSS modifications can be added for your installation
I would suggest to introduce new custom.css and include reference in screen.css
that way you would able to keep your changes separate from theme's core code.

Thanks for the suggestions. All make sense to me except for the album pages;
<div id="g-info"><div class="g-description"> (line 31) is not contained within either #g-album-header or #g-album-grid on album.html.php, and id="g-info"><div class="g-description" appears on photo.html.php so both pages would be affected by CSS changed by
#g-item #g-info .g-description { text-align: center; }
In other words I can't just change the album page without also changing the photo pages if I understand it correctly. I want to do #g-item #g-info .g-description differently on those two pages.
The change to screen.css looks like this:
@import url(GregsGreyDragon.css);
Is that correct? with GregsGreyDragon.css in the css folder?

you can place more general rule first (album) and then fine tune it with second right after (photo)
yes, inclusion is correct.
you would just have to remember to add "include" when replacing the theme

Unfortunately the rules are in conflict:
Photo Layout ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*/
… #g-info .g-description { text-align: center; }
/* styles.css - Album Layout ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*/
… #g-info .g-description { text-align: left; }

The browser will honor whichever comes last, not both.
Several options, but the easiest to implement:
1) add the album layout to the actual css file #g-info .g-description{text-align:left;}
2) then add css in the page.html.php file that's only used if the page is a photo page #g-info .g-description{text-align:center;}
If you don't want to embed css in the html, you'll have to edit deeper files.

Thanks for custom.css option. I'm facing my usual problem with relative paths. I'd like to put it in my top level css folder. gallery3 is also at my top level, so how do I write the path?
And can I use a name other than custom.css? I'm assuming something like ../cssFolder/Gallery3.GreyDragon.gvs.css should work, but don't know how many levels up to go (this one doesn't work, but is that because it's not custom.css or the number of levels is wrong?).

Sorry, my question was not clear. I didn't ask for super califragilistsic expialidocious programming stuff, just some changes in one of the stylesheets. I found out the solution myself, if you add the following to forms.css, it makes Greydragon theme behave like the Wind theme and shows the underlaying page behind the exif box and login box.
@MtnBiker: I think you're saying that you're trying to get to the cssFolder, which is in your public_html folder (or equivalent). If so, drop the "..": url(/cssFolder/Gallery3.GreyDragon.gvs.css).

I see 4 issues when I installed a fresh copy of G3 with Grey Dragon 2.4.9. First, every landscape album thumbnail jumps to the top on mouseover, but all of the portrait thumbs stay the same on mouseover. Second, when the admin login box appears, it has vertical and horizontal scroll bars. Also after I click the login button, it just sits there and never goes away. I have to refresh my page in order to go back to the gallery, and to see that I'm actually logged in. Third, when I mouse over the menu items across the top, none of the sub menus appear. I have to click the dashboard in order to navigate correctly through the menu. And fourth, while I'm logged in, none of the individual album menu selections work, although they are showing up in the right place. You can see what I'm talking about here: http://www.allianceqt.com/gallery3
On a side note, I have been upgrading my personal gallery ever since I installed 2.4.2 and have had none of these weird things to show up on it.

Oh, I see. Sorry I misunderstood you. Opacity of 70% is fine. I have no objection to use it as a default (->2.5.0)

Thanks, that did it.
I'm still changing photo.html.php and album.html.php to put a wrapper (g-photo-wrapper and g-album-wrapper) div around the whole page. Would be helpful if such a wrapper div could be added in 2.5.0. Thanks for considering this request.

Now that Serge has implemented the custom css feature perhaps some css genius might help me implement the transparency in navcarousel. I've attached a before and after image.
Many thanks, this would let me finalise theme presentation and move on to what I should be doing!!!
1a) The image is not properly centred (Take the grey line under the header as reference) 1b) Both grey lines (Content and Sidebar) should be on one height graydragon249_1.png
2) The "Add a comment" should be centred vertically in the table header and the padding to the right should be the same ammount as above/below the box when it is vertically centere graydragon249_2.png
3) When the image EXIF info and hitting the close button [X] on the right top, one has to hit the close button (Close [X]) on the lower right again. graydragon249_3.png
1a) No, I just clicked in the album on the image and thats it. Same result when you use the carousel to navigate
2) Opera (11.00 Beta build 1111) and Chromium (7.0.517.44) show the same misplaced comment button, so does Firefox (3.6.12). At least on Linux (No Windows here to test)
1a) should be fixed. Could you test any individual photo pages on my web-site, please?

1a) Not entirely see the attached screenshot (Left from gray line to image border 369px, right from gray line to image border 359px)
So add 5px more to the right and 5 less on the left
element.style{} is the problem.
I would have expected element.sype{ margin: 0px auto } to correct this problem but somehow it always aligns to the right with some padding to #g-photo.

Here's what I found out what was causing all those issues: IE8 Compatibility View. It was turned ON. When I turned it off, the issues went away. How strange is that? I have my browser set to open new tabs with it turned off, but for some reason that new tab yesterday got turned on.

I found it! Although my info module was activated, I found in my theme options I had "Hide Item Meta Data" checked under "Advanced Options - Photo Page". I unchecked it and the "More" button came back.

Spoiler alert!!! Thanksgiving present for everyone
2.5.0 is going to include a new option - bottom aligned sidebar
you can see test run on my web-site - select proper sidebar mode as highlighted in the screenshot
before it goes public, early comments are welcomed
1)Comment button in all mentioned browsers under Linux are still misaligned. 2)Image is still not centred properly in relation to the grey header line above or the comment box below.
was not planned for this release. it is to do item. keep me informed about such cases and I will fix it as we go

I've just tried this - what a fantastic theme, thank you!!!
Something I noticed - if I install and enable both Shadowbox and Fancybox, then the GreyDragon theme will actually use both at the same time. The way this appears is, when the user clicks on an image, he'll get both the Shadowbox and the Fancybox, one on top of the other. (I think the Shadowbox with its slideshow is underneath the Fancybox, but I won't swear to it). Maybe the them options page could notice that both Shadowbox and Fancybox are enabled, and ask the user which one to use, or - if it's possible - how to select desired functionality from each without both activating at once the way I saw it?

Possibly this belongs in the Shadowbox discussion ... I'm not sure. How can I configure it so that:
a) the slideshow IS available to the user, but also
b) the slideshow does not start by default (that is, it starts paused, and won't begin changing images unless/until the user clicks the ">" (go) button
?
And while we're in wish mode I really like Fancybox's large left and right arrows appearing at the left-center and right-center of the image, instead of Shadowbox's requirement to aim the mouse at the much smaller << and >> icons at the lower right of the picture. Can I get the best of both world's - Shadowbox's slideshow capability with Fancybox's large left and right arrows appearing at the left-center and right-center of the image?
Thanks!

I turned on flex columns, and was a little surprised. I'd guessed that flex columns would allow the theme to calculate the number of icons it could fit in the configured (3) rows, based on the browser's width.
Instead, the theme displayed the same number of icons (3x3 = 9), in however many rows it took to get to that 9 limit.
How is flex columns actually supposed to work?
Is there a way to get it to do what I'd guessed (which would be great, as it minimized the number of album pages a user has to go through to skim all photos and sub-albums, based on the size of the user's display)?

Is this the best place for making this kind of change? This, of course, would only be in my installation.
Thanks for any comments. I'm trying to lessen my chances for messing up when I update.

@MtnBiker: all that can be done with existing id structure
#g-album-header/#g-album-grid for album pages
#g-item for photo pages
both CSS modifications can be added for your installation
I would suggest to introduce new custom.css and include reference in screen.css
that way you would able to keep your changes separate from theme's core code.

Thanks for the suggestions. All make sense to me except for the album pages;
<div id="g-info"><div class="g-description"> (line 31) is not contained within either #g-album-header or #g-album-grid on album.html.php, and id="g-info"><div class="g-description" appears on photo.html.php so both pages would be affected by CSS changed by
#g-item #g-info .g-description { text-align: center; }
In other words I can't just change the album page without also changing the photo pages if I understand it correctly. I want to do #g-item #g-info .g-description differently on those two pages.
The change to screen.css looks like this:
@import url(GregsGreyDragon.css);
Is that correct? with GregsGreyDragon.css in the css folder?

you can place more general rule first (album) and then fine tune it with second right after (photo)
yes, inclusion is correct.
you would just have to remember to add "include" when replacing the theme

Unfortunately the rules are in conflict:
Photo Layout ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*/
… #g-info .g-description { text-align: center; }
/* styles.css - Album Layout ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*/
… #g-info .g-description { text-align: left; }

The browser will honor whichever comes last, not both.
Several options, but the easiest to implement:
1) add the album layout to the actual css file
#g-info .g-description{text-align:left;}2) then add css in the page.html.php file that's only used if the page is a photo page
#g-info .g-description{text-align:center;}If you don't want to embed css in the html, you'll have to edit deeper files.

Let me add theme's option for extended CSS reference

Thanks for custom.css option. I'm facing my usual problem with relative paths. I'd like to put it in my top level css folder. gallery3 is also at my top level, so how do I write the path?
And can I use a name other than custom.css? I'm assuming something like ../cssFolder/Gallery3.GreyDragon.gvs.css should work, but don't know how many levels up to go (this one doesn't work, but is that because it's not custom.css or the number of levels is wrong?).

Sorry, my question was not clear. I didn't ask for super califragilistsic expialidocious programming stuff, just some changes in one of the stylesheets. I found out the solution myself, if you add the following to forms.css, it makes Greydragon theme behave like the Wind theme and shows the underlaying page behind the exif box and login box.
.ui-widget-overlay { filter: alpha(opacity=70); -moz-opacity: 0.7; -khtml-opacity: 0.7; opacity: 0.7; }I now have this in my custom.css.

Gallery 3.0+ (git), Grey Dragon Theme v2.4.9
Posts: 1633
@MtnBiker: I think you're saying that you're trying to get to the cssFolder, which is in your public_html folder (or equivalent). If so, drop the "..":
url(/cssFolder/Gallery3.GreyDragon.gvs.css).Posts: 83
I see 4 issues when I installed a fresh copy of G3 with Grey Dragon 2.4.9. First, every landscape album thumbnail jumps to the top on mouseover, but all of the portrait thumbs stay the same on mouseover. Second, when the admin login box appears, it has vertical and horizontal scroll bars. Also after I click the login button, it just sits there and never goes away. I have to refresh my page in order to go back to the gallery, and to see that I'm actually logged in. Third, when I mouse over the menu items across the top, none of the sub menus appear. I have to click the dashboard in order to navigate correctly through the menu. And fourth, while I'm logged in, none of the individual album menu selections work, although they are showing up in the right place. You can see what I'm talking about here: http://www.allianceqt.com/gallery3
On a side note, I have been upgrading my personal gallery ever since I installed 2.4.2 and have had none of these weird things to show up on it.

Oh, I see. Sorry I misunderstood you. Opacity of 70% is fine. I have no objection to use it as a default (->2.5.0)

Thanks, that did it.
I'm still changing photo.html.php and album.html.php to put a wrapper (g-photo-wrapper and g-album-wrapper) div around the whole page. Would be helpful if such a wrapper div could be added in 2.5.0. Thanks for considering this request.

Now that Serge has implemented the custom css feature perhaps some css genius might help me implement the transparency in navcarousel. I've attached a before and after image.
Many thanks, this would let me finalise theme presentation and move on to what I should be doing!!!

I found some layout issues you might want to fix:
1a) The image is not properly centred (Take the grey line under the header as reference)
1b) Both grey lines (Content and Sidebar) should be on one height
graydragon249_1.png
2) The "Add a comment" should be centred vertically in the table header and the padding to the right should be the same ammount as above/below the box when it is vertically centere
graydragon249_2.png
3) When the image EXIF info and hitting the close button [X] on the right top, one has to hit the close button (Close [X]) on the lower right again.

1a) Will check. did you use carousel to navigate?
1b) Correction: I see it if I zoom in. - Fixed in 2.5.0
2) Looks OK to me (see ss-2.png)
As it seems, there could be a problem with Chrome browser
3) Fixed. Shadowbox should not be used at all for dialogs.

1a) No, I just clicked in the album on the image and thats it. Same result when you use the carousel to navigate
2) Opera (11.00 Beta build 1111) and Chromium (7.0.517.44) show the same misplaced comment button, so does Firefox (3.6.12). At least on Linux (No Windows here to test)

1a) should be fixed. Could you test any individual photo pages on my web-site, please?
Posts: 33
1a) Not entirely see the attached screenshot (Left from gray line to image border 369px, right from gray line to image border 359px)
So add 5px more to the right and 5 less on the left
element.style{} is the problem.
I would have expected
element.sype{ margin: 0px auto } to correct this problem but somehow it always aligns to the right with some padding to #g-photo.
Cheers

The random image module in the sidebar does not seem to be resizing the image to horizontally fit when using the 300px digital ex format.

The css below is a potential fix for it...
.g-image-block img.g-thumbnail { width: 200px; height: auto; }

Here's what I found out what was causing all those issues: IE8 Compatibility View. It was turned ON. When I turned it off, the issues went away. How strange is that? I have my browser set to open new tabs with it turned off, but for some reason that new tab yesterday got turned on.

Which module activates the "More" button and additional image info across the top of an image when you mouse over it?
Posts: 2436
Added to 2.5.0
Posts: 2436
Info module and "Description Display Mode" Admin setting (off course, description need to be provided)
Posts: 83
I found it! Although my info module was activated, I found in my theme options I had "Hide Item Meta Data" checked under "Advanced Options - Photo Page". I unchecked it and the "More" button came back.
Posts: 2436
Spoiler alert!!! Thanksgiving present for everyone
2.5.0 is going to include a new option - bottom aligned sidebar
you can see test run on my web-site - select proper sidebar mode as highlighted in the screenshot
before it goes public, early comments are welcomed

version 2.5.0
Posts: 33
2.5.0 fixed the misaligned lines in the header.
1)Comment button in all mentioned browsers under Linux are still misaligned.
2)Image is still not centred properly in relation to the grey header line above or the comment box below.
You are inching closer to the perfect theme!
Another question, is it by purpose that the columns in the album pages are left aligned and not centred when choosing a flexible column layout?
Cheers,
Bjoern

I've just tried this - what a fantastic theme, thank you!!!
Something I noticed - if I install and enable both Shadowbox and Fancybox, then the GreyDragon theme will actually use both at the same time. The way this appears is, when the user clicks on an image, he'll get both the Shadowbox and the Fancybox, one on top of the other. (I think the Shadowbox with its slideshow is underneath the Fancybox, but I won't swear to it). Maybe the them options page could notice that both Shadowbox and Fancybox are enabled, and ask the user which one to use, or - if it's possible - how to select desired functionality from each without both activating at once the way I saw it?

Possibly this belongs in the Shadowbox discussion ... I'm not sure. How can I configure it so that:
a) the slideshow IS available to the user, but also
b) the slideshow does not start by default (that is, it starts paused, and won't begin changing images unless/until the user clicks the ">" (go) button
?
And while we're in wish mode
I really like Fancybox's large left and right arrows appearing at the left-center and right-center of the image, instead of Shadowbox's requirement to aim the mouse at the much smaller << and >> icons at the lower right of the picture. Can I get the best of both world's - Shadowbox's slideshow capability with Fancybox's large left and right arrows appearing at the left-center and right-center of the image? 
Thanks!

I turned on flex columns, and was a little surprised. I'd guessed that flex columns would allow the theme to calculate the number of icons it could fit in the configured (3) rows, based on the browser's width.
Instead, the theme displayed the same number of icons (3x3 = 9), in however many rows it took to get to that 9 limit.
How is flex columns actually supposed to work?
Is there a way to get it to do what I'd guessed (which would be great, as it minimized the number of album pages a user has to go through to skim all photos and sub-albums, based on the size of the user's display)?
Thanks!
Jay
