New minimalistic theme: Gin & Tonic

[flasyn]

Hi!

We have designed a minimalistic theme with sublte dark colors and a fixed navigation on the left side.

You can check out a working demo here: http://gin-and-tonic.de/coppermine/ 

As this is our first theme, we would really appreciate your feedback.  Especially if you find any bugs (we have tested the theme in FF, IE8+9, Chrome and Safari).

Many thanks!


Demo - Download

Hi Fleshyn!

I installed the theme on my site and everything seems to be working just like a charme. One thing though: When I unzipped the theme, it created two "gintonic"-folder (one folder and one subfolder). It took me a second to realise that the theme only gets installed when i upload the subfolder containg the css/php/images.

But as I said: Works like a charme now - I just love that splash of gold!

Sorry for misspelling your name flasyn!

Whereas the the theme works fine on most pages, there is a problem on this site:

The intermediate image does not get displayed.

I already searched the forum, this doesn't seem to be the problem:

Try to disable the transparent overlay.

I just added you to the Contributor group, so you can maintain your theme. I'll add your theme to the demo and download section asap. Thank you for your contribution!

Hi André!

Thank you very much for the feedback - we'll give it a try.

//Wow - We are honoured that the theme made it into demo and download section. Danke!

Try to disable the transparent overlay.

Of course the above mentioned solution not the actual fix, but I assume that the loader animation overwrites the "protected" image:

.image {
    border:1px solid #666;
    margin-top:4px;
    margin-bottom:4px;
    margin-right:15px;
    margin-left: 15px;
    /* filter:progid:dximagetransform.microsoft.shadow(color=#000000,direction=135,strength=6); */
    margin: 2px;
    background:url(images/loader.gif) no-repeat center;
}

Wow - We are honoured that the theme made it into demo and download section. Danke!

We're delighted about every contribution and the demo is the best way to get an idea how the theme looks like, that's why we add all contributed themes to the demo

very nice theme. It's exactly I'm looking for

Another suggestion for version 1.1 of your theme: at the bottom there's the button "TOP". When you hit that button nothing happens, as there's no corresponding jump label.

I am a noob at this. What do I change so that my gallery shows my theme? I can't figure it out. Is there a code to change so that it points to my theme?

[flasyn]

@André: We will implement this. Thank you!
@meo0oow: check out this instruction:  http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/theme_user-contributions.htm#theme_user-contributions_install
@ryback: Thank you! I'm glad you like it.

[meo0oow]

I love you flasyn! lol Seriously, thank you for the help. Can't believe I finally got it working.

[meo0oow]

One more thing...I'm having the same problem as the person above. The logo isn't showing up. Suggestions?

[meo0oow]

Nevermind. Got it working

[meo0oow]

I am so sorry to keep bugging you  But can you tell me how to make all thumbnails the same size? I would appreciate it so much!

[Αndré]

meo0oow, please read the official Coppermine docs regarding your thumbnail question. Additionally "Nevermind. Got it working" doesn't help anybody, so please post your solution to help other people who have the same issue.

Hi everyone!

• We changed the css slightly, the loader.gif that didn't work on some sites (actually only one) is now commented out.
• Links are now absolute, not relative – so that the theme can be installed in subfolders as well.
• The top-Link (jump to top of site) is now working.
• The text on the logo now is "My Photos" instead of "Your Logo" – this should be a good default text for most users. However, we also included the logo as a psd-file, so that you can change the logo to your liking.
• We added a short readme about how to install the theme

Have fun and please get back to us should there be any bugs etc...

Beautiful theme, simple and elegant. Great work!

I have noticed a minor issue with the "admin items" in some situations.

When I use the "Hide admin control" or I login with "normal user", the last 4 menu items:
- Create/order my albums
- Modify my albums
- My Profile
- Sort my pictures
are shown horizontally and not vertically (see included capture)

When I display the full admin menu everything is perfect.
