I am working on trying to make my own G2 theme, but in the meantime I need something that will at least *work* for my site. The main thing is that it cannot have the sidebar. I have left-hand navigation on my site already and really don't want a second column of links. What I really want is a standard grid layout with three columns, with the text stuff under (not to the side) of each thumbnail. I am using Gallery 2.1... Anyway does anyone know of a theme that matches that description? The ones I tried to install were not compatible with 2.1 |

at the end of the list there is a demo site with all the themes. Pick one that matches your discription or close to it.
You can edit the theme to remove the sidebar content.

That's where I was looking for the themes, but the three I tried weren't for 2.1. Also the demo site gives this error:
Database Error
An error has occurred while interacting with the database.
Back to the Gallery
This is why I am asking in here if anyone knows of one. I'm having a wrist-slitting time with the learning curve of trying to edit themes, btw. Is there a 2.1 theme based on HTML not CSS for layout that I could use as a starting point?

Perhaps you can let the site owner know that he has a database error.
All the other themes have demo links do they not? What theme did you try that was not at 2.1? It might just be a simple cange of a few lins in the code.

or PGtheme (the father of the Nature theme)
Gallery version = 2.2-svn core 1.1.9
PHP version = 5.1.4 apache2handler
Webserver = Apache/2.2.2 (Win32) DAV/2 PHP/5.1.4 mod_ssl/2.2.2 OpenSSL/0.9.8b
Database = mysql 5.0.22-log,
Theme=PGtheme,

Ok the Nature theme seems pretty close and I was able to configure it to look pretty much how I want for my client's site, but it's got hardcoded background colors! I set it to my "embedded" colorpack but that didn't get rid of it. Why do people do that when they make themes? *cry*

I assume if I edit the css file I can get rid of that?

Well looking at your source you have a few CSS that can't be found:
http://gallery.opalcat.com/gallery/modules/colorpack/packs/embed/color.css
&
http://gallery.opalcat.com/gallery/themes/nature/theme.css
I have found 2 tools that are invaluable the firefox browser and the web development tool that allows you to Make live edits to the CSS of a web page..
Once you have them both installed....
select edit css and under the 'information' dropdown check display ID & class details.
Edit your CSS and you will see the results. Once you have this the way you want, upload your edited css to the server.

Sorry, guys, I got my site up and running again. Somehow the g2_cachemap table got corrupted. I think i'll turn off acceleration until they get this cacheing stuff working better.

Um, that's because that's G1, as said in my sig. That isn't even the gallery I'm talking about in this thread. I will never EVER install someone else's theme on my gallery (the one in my sig) because it is absolutely out of the question to have it NOT match my site. That gallery will remain squarely seated in G1 until I can re-write MY theme in G2 (I spent a heck of a long time making that G1 theme... I made every little navigation graphic and tweaked everything to have it exactly how I want it. I'm not giving that up). Sorry, but for my own personal website I would never dream of having someone else's design. It's just somehow wrong to me. If I didn't create it, it isn't my homepage.
As I said in a later post, the url that I am working on right now is here: http://www.reardonbuilders.com/gallery/gallery2embedded.php
THAT is where the Nature theme is installed. In the process of getting that guy's gallery working right and looking ok, I'm hoping to learn enough to be able to rewrite my own theme so I can finally upgrade it to G2.

It's my signature and is automatically attached to my post. I didn't even think about it.

Did you take my advice?

I haven't had a chance to take your advice yet, plus I didn't know they were missing from the correct site because you didn't say so initially--you said my G1 gallery was missing G2 theme css files. Why are you so freakin hostile all of a sudden? I don't need your help if you're going to be a jerk about it.
