1. I'm would like to modify the matrix theme (colors, span, borders, hover actions, etc.). Which .css file do I need to change and where can I find it?

2. How do I remove the "album actions" and "item action" menus?

The files you want to change are located in the themes folder.

access the folder of the theme you are using. you will find the images being used and the necessary files that control the theme.

for future reference you can then add a folder to themes and insert your code into the theme folder thus creating your own theme that will then be accessible from your config screens.

thnx, I'm starting to understand how this works now. One thing I still can't find is where to disable the "Album actions" and "item actions" menu's. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I too am confused about some of this. (I don't mean to hijack someone else's thread.)

I see the images in the /themes/matrix/images folder.

I am wanting to modify some things in the Matirx template as well - similar to the html_wrap directory in Gallery 1.

I am wanting to add a banner ad, etc.

Where should I be looking for that. I am confused (again).

try making local templates.. layouts/matrix/templates albumBody.tpl, singleBody.tpl
add some html in your local versions of these files and see where it shows up in the app..

Very confusing stuff...

For example, the main image at the top is called galleryLogo_sm.gif

I cannot find the HTML that calls for this image in any of those files?

Where do I start?

layouts/matrix/templates/pathbar.tpl
but the links are dynamically generated from active modules, so you may or may not find what you're looking for in there.
