Hi, there are a few things that I am wanting to modify in the Carbon Theme so it more suits my style. However, I don't know which files to edit or what I need to add.

1. I want to center the logo/header in the middle of the page. What file should I edit for this? Where is that file located?

2. I want to remove the "add to cart" options and the icon in the top left corner.

3. I would also like to center the slideshow. And, is there a way that I can make the delay, direction, size, and fade a default so it doesn't give those options? Can I use the slideshow from other themes for the carbon theme?

I know this is asking alot, but I want the gallery to be as professional for a photography site as possible. Thanks so much for your help in advance! Jamie

Edit the template files of the slideshow module.

Can you be a little more specific as to what I edit in the template file of the slideshow module so I can make the delay, direction, size, and fade a default not give those options and set it to a defult?

gallery2/modules/slideshow/templates/Slideshow.tpl

    <select onchange="new_delay(this.value)">
      <option value="1">{g->text text="1 second"}</option>
      <option value="3">{g->text text="3 seconds"}</option>
      <option value="5">{g->text text="5 seconds"}</option>
      <option value="10">{g->text text="10 seconds"}</option>
      <option selected="selected" value="15">{g->text text="15 seconds"}</option>
      <option value="20">{g->text text="20 seconds"}</option>
    </select>

is the code for showing the dropdown of the delay.

you have to have some knowledge of HTML, Javascript and smarty to do the customizations you are after.
