Ive made a skin / sort of and would like to get coppermines tables to align left instead of centre- im not altogether famimilar with php but my html is good. I found the stuff i need is in template.php not in the .html or the .css but my experiments with changing this have been messy - some tables align left others far right(including the main veiw of image)- using the classic as a base for the template. but i cant figure out which bits of the .php file control which elements! ???

post a link to your site and attach a screenshot with a sketch that shows what exactly you want aligned in what way; there's no saying what you need to edit if you're not more specific.

ok - the site is at

i dont want to change the sige of the thumbnail veiwer just make its background  black

the little thumbnails at the bottom are called "filmstrip" in coppermine terms. Edit themes/yourtheme/theme.php, find// HTML template for filmstrip display
$template_film_strip = <<<EOT

        <tr>
         <td valign="top" background='themes/classic/images/tile.gif' align="center" height='30'>&nbsp;</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
        <td valign="bottom" class="thumbnails" align="center">
          {THUMB_STRIP}
        </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
         <td valign="top" background='themes/classic/images/tile.gif' align="center" height='30'>&nbsp;</td>
        </tr>
<!-- BEGIN thumb_cell -->
                                        <a href="{LINK_TGT}">{THUMB}</a>&nbsp;
                                        {CAPTION}
                                        {ADMIN_MENU}
<!-- END thumb_cell -->
<!-- BEGIN empty_cell -->
                <td valign="top" align="center" >1&nbsp;</td>
<!-- END empty_cell -->

EOT;and edit accordingly by adding the attributestyle="background-color:black"to the <td> tags.
