Hey, I'm working on a G2 implementation in my website, by basically copying the html from my page into the theme.tpl. It's working great, but I have a couple fine-tuning questions.

Please take a look at http://www.eggdropper.com/gallery2/ (not IE-compatible)

1) Is there any way to insert a ">" between nested albums in the top navbar? I don't know what file to take a look at.

2) On the individual photo pages, for example, http://www.eggdropper.com/gallery2/v/digable/DSC01900.JPG.html , the picture overflows out of the page border. If I could somehow remove the PeerList on the left side of the image (which I don't really need) and move the rest of the content to the left, it would fit. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
A better solution would be if there was some way to make the whole sidebar horizontal, if that's possible.

I hope no one is offended by how much I stripped down Gallery...I promise to stick a logo and a link on there when I am finished.

Thanks so much!

> 1.
if you use the matrix theme:
in themes/matrix/templates/theme.tpl
replace:

        <div class="gbBreadCrumb">
          {g->block type="core.BreadCrumb"}
        </div>

with

        <div class="gbBreadCrumb">
          {g->block type="core.BreadCrumb" 
                    separator=" &amp; &amp;"}
        </div>

but maybe you can achieve what you want without changing the template:
see theme/matrix/templates/theme.css, change the gbBreadCrumb stuff.

> 2.
site admin -> themes -> themeName
change there which blocks should be shown and which not. you want to remove the peer list block from the sidebar block list.
as soon as there are 0 sidebar blocks, it shouldn't show the sidebar at all (or at least matrix works that way).

Silly me, I never thought to actually look in the themes settings.

Thanks so much, great help!
