Attached is version 1.1 of this theme, which fixes an issue when the transparent overlay is enabled.

I tried version 1.0 of this theme last night, but ran into a problem with stamp.png link appearing at the end of the vertical film strip after the final thumbnail. I was about to post a reply about it when I noticed v1.1 had been released, so tried that, thinking it may have solved the problem. Now I am rather confused, my theme is set for classic_vstrip but the film strip appears underneath, as in classic, rather than at the side.

Have double-checked, removed the theme & installed it again but still the same result.

It's a 1.5.6 test gallery with no modifications.

Sorry, my fault. Version 1.2 attached.

Sorry, my fault. Version 1.2 attached.

That's a relief, was half expecting it to be my fault for getting something wrong. Will give 1.2 a try.

Thanks.

The vertical filmstrip now shows as it should, but the problem I was originally going to mention is still there. If you use the downward arrow on the filmstrip to work through the filmstrip images, when you reach the end, "stamp.png" appears as a link. If I position the mouse on it, it tries to link to stamp.png - which does not exist. I have looked for a similar named .png file, just in case there was a typing error & done a search to see if anybody has had a similar problem.

I also noticed 5 images were appearing in the film strip, but my settings are for 4. Hope it is OK to mention that as well in this post, but it does relate to this particular theme.

I figured out, that the above issues occur only, if you set the number of film strip items to an even value. If you set it to e.g. 3 or 5, everything works fine.

Maybe we should modify the regex for the number of filmstrip items on the config page and only allow odd number there - after all, it looks silly if the current image's thumbnail doesn't reside in the middle.

Fine by me (I personally don't use the film strip, so I don't care ).

Curve seems to handle 4 thumbs without problem. Would it be better to leave it to the theme's author to add a limit or fixed setting to theme.php?

[Timos-Welt]

This theme is based on a very early beta version of 1.5.x and should be completely redone.

All themes that doesn't overwrite the needed functions should work. But Joachim suggested a general thing:

it looks silly if the current image's thumbnail doesn't reside in the middle.

Maybe we spoon-fed our users too much if we restrict that setting to odd numbers.

Thanks. Set to an "odd" number and it works fine.
