I have looked absolutely everywhere in the docs, forums, and code. I have also used dreamweaver to search for "40%"

I would like to change the area above the albums that shows the album title, from being 40% width to 90%width. The area in red in the picture below is what I am trying to change. I am using beta 3, with all the default tmeplates etc.

Any help or advice would be very much appreciated, this has been driving me nuts.

tia,
Gordon

albumBody.tpl and save as /local/albumBody.tpl in the directory of the layout you are using.
so g2/layouts/matrix/albumBody.tpl gets edited and saved as g2/layouts/matrix/local/albumBody.tpl

yahoo, floridave!

additional note: major theme changes are coming soon, so you might wait a bit before making any big customization... (this is just a little change of course..)

You may also want to look at this thread for some other suggestions, http://gallery.menalto.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=24920 .

It's a change I've made to my albumBody and will be making to my singleBody as well. Someone else did the majority of the work, I just cleaned it up a little. I will be submitting it as a patch to "fix" Matrix and other "standard" themes once the new theme system is in place.

Here's an example of what that change looks like using English: http://photos.kevinnehls.com/

Dave,

Thanks that was exactly what I needed.
/layouts/matrix/templates/* -> /layouts/matrix/templates/local/*

Nive: yeah that looks about what Im working towards also.. Im going to hold off until the next release otherwise this will all be lost time.

Is there an official date for the next release? I have been watching g2beta for a good few months now, getting exciting.

cheers for the help,
gordon

Not that I've seen. From what I've heard, B4 should be released in a couple of weeks. That could change of course ;)
