Embedded Transparent Color Pack

There used to be a matrix trans theme that would help your embedded gallery match your cms theme and let your background image show through. I have recently made a embedded colorpack that helps this become possible. To help it work even better, edit your cms stylesheet and add the text

!important

after the color for the css link items. Like below.

a:link, a:visited {
    font-size: 12px;
    color: #CC9966 !important;
    text-decoration:none;
    font-weight: bold;
}

a:hover {
    text-decoration:underline;
    color:#FF0000 !important;
}

Adding those items to your cms stylesheet will help override the gallery2 default colors for links, etc.

No background image is included with the color pack. All this does is if you want a background image or are using gallery2 embedded and have a background color and don't want to make a color pack it makes the usually white background of gallery2 be transparent. You can use this color pack with any theme. Just unzip the contents into your gallery2 modules\colorpack\packs directory. Then goto your theme settings and at the bottom select embed as the colorpack.

Which parts were white?

Hi Steve,
Is this colorpack only for using when the gallery is embedded into another webpage?

I have yet to try that, but am interested to try.

Once I worked out what this was all about It worked great

Thank you very much

I didn't make those area's transparent in my color pack. You should be able to look at the html of the page to figure out what css classes you need to override in the colorpack to make the gray area's transparent as well. You should also be able to look at my colorpack css for some examples.

hmm... I'm trying to use this with a Gallery embedded in to Joomla... http://www.outlawnation.us then click gallery on the left. I can't seem to get the linked text to change from that default blue colored link... any comments to help guide me in the right direction to correct this problem?

thanks,
Rich

I'd like to publically declare my love for shocksll for this, works perfectly with Oldiesmann's G2+SMF Gallery integration too! Brilliant solution!

Hi

I have added your embed in my gallery, but have some small problems my gallery seems to be to large for my site.
How can i fix this ?

link: http://www.z-city.be/gallery/main.php

I'm having trouble uploading the pack to the pack directory - I'm getting permission denied for ftp client upload to the folder, also getting mkdir permission denied when I manually try to create the directory "embed"

I've tried to chmod of the folder modules/colorpack/ to 777 but it doesn't work.

I'm on a hosted server so I don't have root access - is there a way to add a colorpack through g2 so that I'm using its permissions on its folders?

Hello,
