Title: Theme Feedback
Post by: workingdefinition on December 04, 2006, 08:38:22 PM
Hello there,

I would like some feedback on the theme/layout I've settled on for my site.  My main concerns are that it is a bit too busy and perhaps too slow to load.  Any and all comments greatly appreciated!

Layout is fine by me, but there's too much detail imo - I recommend turning off album display on the index page - way too many albums and subsequently album thumbnails.

Thanks for the suggestion - I made that change and think it looks OK.  My only concern is that there is no one-click access to specific albums.

You could add a drop down list like this - http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=39067.0 (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=39067.0). ;)

Nice look. Another recommendations though: all your category thumbnails are landscape except the one for "Peace Corps Uzbekistan" which is portrait. I suggest using a landscape thumbnail for this particular category as well.

And here's a plugin for creating a dropdown list that doesn't interfer with the look of the theme. It appears as a Directory link (button) in the menu and when clicked takes you to a page with dropdown lists. Pretty cool!
