When a user logins and they will see something like this:

[add photos] [new nested album]
[captions] [sort] [resize all] [rebuild thumbs]
[properties] [permissions] [view all comments] [slideshow] [logout]

How I can change this to drop menu thing like the one you manage a photo, know what I mean? I want make it simple and clear for my members, no more confusing.

Also how I can have all these on ALL pages? makes it easier for them? Evenually I want a login page ON the same window not a popup, it makes too confusing, why Gallery use all popups for anything, it is tooo MUCH, my members doesnt like it though.

Help me here

You'll have to edit each file (albums.php, view_album.php, etc.) where it says:
<!-- admin section begin -->
You can convert these into a form with a SELECT tag that duplicates the original buttons' functions through the JavaScript OnChange attribute.

Well, Gallery 2 when it's released, will use a tab-based system, with no popups. It's an integral part of Gallery 1... I don't think trying to remove every popup window would be time well spent.
