Well, this may be considered minor, but would make things look a tad nicer.

If say I have a 3 frame by 3 row setup, but I only have 7 or 8 albums maybe if there's 7 have the bottom album center and if there's 8 have the bottom 2 use the sides? Nothing major(well not that it's nothing major because I don't know how to do it:)), but I'm pretty sure you're not doing that in a theme.

Thanks,
Matt

Search? Codex? G2-UserContribs? Mods/Patches?
Center incomplete rows in album pages for matrix theme?

I avoid using album thumbnails as the ways they are
implemented are much too clumsy and formulaic (just
shrieking 'Yet Another Gallery'). They also take up
wads of otherwise invaluable screen display space.
That you find the ragged bottom edge unaesthetic
would be the very least of my artistic sensibility but
each to his own;~) I mentioned this as a possible
solution simply because you asked the question.

As for the implication that further complexity imbued
in embedding Gallery into another's CMS (WordPress)
would provide a presumably simple solution has me
a little bemused. Embedding is two-edged sword -
so to speak. Yes it may provide further functionality
but equally may prove doubly problematic particularly
to any not familiar with now two applications!
