Sorry if this has already been posted, I search the forum couldn’t find any reference.

If I select ‘Columns per album page - 1’ all albums/pictures are centered, how can I align albums to the left margin (instead of center).

Next, I want the description of the Album to appear on the right side, (see pic)

Last, I want to disable the date(s) circled in the pic, can’t find the option

you won't find options for these things. but we assume you know css and html, the basic web technologies. you can edit the templates, layouts and themes to accomplish these things.
take a look at the css files and the layouts to familiarize yourself with the concepts. perhaps it's easier than it looks on the first sight, perhaps mindless will tell you what to edit exactly :)

Take a look at the template files, you can change most of the things you want there through simple HTML editing.

layouts/**yourlayout**/templates/albumBody.tpl

as well as..

layouts/**yourlayout**/templates/singleBody.tpl

and you'll find the centering css right at the top of layouts/matrix/layout.css

Thanks, I am going to give it a try (have no clue of programming but can do Google)

Questions what does 'lem' mean/do in the following code couldn't find a reference anywhere

td.giAlbumCell, td.giItemCell {
    padding: lem;
    text-align: left;
}

What is the difference between albumBody.tpl and singleBody.tpl

That’s all for now, THX

1em (one em) is a measurement relative to font size..
see http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/

albumBody.tpl shows an album (and thumbnails of items inside it).
singleBody.tpl shows a single item/photo.
