Hi,

first i must say gallery3 is the best gallery so far. the handling is awesome.

But i think if gallery3 goes final we will have more options until now. So i ask to myself is it possible
to create a lightweight version of gallery3, so that gallery3 looks and works like the current beta 3.0.2.

This Beta has all the that i / we need for an good working gallery.
My moderators have the rights to manage the gallery themself without any administrator rights, it rly immpressive what you have done.

The only thinks thats need a little bit of tweaking is the detailview (the art to show full pictures "like enlargeit in coppermine") and the theme control.
Do you plan a small webbased theme creator for gallery3 ? So that user can create their own themes without editing ?

There's not much more going to be added to G3 or the core. You can always delete individual modules from the modules directory (after making sure they are uninstalled).

I've not heard of any webbased theme generator being planned. Doubt it's going to happen unless someone makes one. Take a look at the theme files, they are primarily HTML with some PHP, so you could potentially use your favorite WYSIWYG HTML editor and then add the necessary PHP to make Gallery function.

That would be a theme specific function. Make it how ever you want for your theme. As it is right now, just click on this button:

Sounds like you need to get yourself Firefox with Firebug installed :)

See the CSS gallery3/themes/default/css/screen.css and where is has a comment about superfish overrides

.sf-menu li li, .sf-menu li li ul li {
  background-color: #bdd2ff;
}

.sf-menu li:hover {
  background-color: #dfe9ff;
}

And if you want to change the first level's color simply add this:

.sf-menu li, .sf-menu li li, .sf-menu li li ul li {
  background-color: #[b]bdd2ff;
}

.sf-menu li:hover {
  background-color: #dfe9ff;
}

If that doesn't work, can you post a link to your site?

There was some talk about making a theme editor similar to:

It might happen in the future once most of the core functionality is done and cool feature like this will come forward. It all takes time.

Thats would be a realy nice feature. Without html,php knowlege its hard do create an own theme.
