I recently migrated to Gallery 3.04, I want it to look similar to the Gallery 2 setup I have and change the template, for now at least the colors and font. In the CSS file it says to go to ui.jquery.com to create a theme. So I did that and customized it, then downloaded it. The problem is I have no idea how to install it or where to find out how. I looked through the documents and found this:

Once the theme has been downloaded and unzipped, you will see a folder name jquery-ui-themeroller Folder. This folder contains a demo.html page that contains interactive examples of all the current UI widgets and a folder called /theme/. Copy the theme directory into your project and link to the themes/all.css file from your pages.

The problem is that the folder structure is not what that says, there is no demo (only index but it's probably the same thing) just folders css, development-bundle, and js (ie no "theme" or the name of my theme except nested in the CSS folder) . I tried loading the whole file into my custom theme folder but that didn't work. I even tried loading just what was in css/custom-theme (the name I chose) into the theme folder, but it didn't work either. I also added a theme.info page so it would show up in the administration but that didn't help.

Could someone please point me in the direction to what I need to do next?

Thanks, Jamie

I would follow these directions:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:Tutorials:Themes#Preferred_option_one_-_copy_the_default_theme

Then once you are comfortable with custom themes the Builder/jQuery UI might make a bit more sense. Builder/jQuery UI i have never used

I was able to copy a theme and edit it and activate it without issue, I just don't understand how to load these themes. Is jQuery something that I have to load to use? I am under the impression that jQuery is something to do with javascript, unless I'm wrong, but I only need css and php files for a template right?

Thanks

Most functions require jQuery so if your theme is based on any of the ones that are in use it will need jQuery as well.
jQuery is a JavaScript library that makes it easy to do some UI and css changes.

Perhaps you can ask specific questions with a URL to the site in question to get better answers as your questions now are quite general and require a sort of general answer.
