Hi folks,

I am currently creating a theme (by modifying the matrix (yes, I'm the one ;)), and I want to add some more properties (like number of rows/cols) to make it more customizable.

How can I do this?

Greetings,

If you're modifying the Matrix theme, it already has those options. To make the change globally go to Site Admin > Themes > Matrix. To change it at the album level click on Edit Album > Theme (tab)

Yes, I know that. But I need more options.

If you look at theme.inc you will see how existing options are created with the defaults. If you compare the theme.inc of matrix with lets say carbon you will see how some options are done.

Or take a look at the xtreme theme. I think that theme even has options for choosing the winning lottery numbers. I'm kidding :), but it's got options for all kinds of stuff.
