all avaible themes are in our demo gallery (look at the demo link on the top of this page).
If you don't find what you want, you must make it yourself  ;)
see the theme section (http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#theme_create) in the doc

I agree a Vista theme would be very nice, but would you be able to use Microsoft's images?

I strongly doubt that. I don't think that they would sue you though - after all, you're promoting their new operating system if you come up with such a theme.

Is there already a vista aero theme for copper mine
No.
will i have to edit all those lil images one by one ? and what if i get an error message finally  ;D ;D
You'll have to come up with a custom theme of your own then. Do as suggested and read the corresponding docs. Create your custom theme step by step and observe the preview - if you make a mistake and get an error, just undo your previous step.

you can use the firefox webdevelopper toolbar to find which style is used (in your case look at the body) in some themes, there is directly set in the template.html file.

@Frantz: when replacing a hotlinked image with an attachment, make sure to attach the full-size pic, not just the thumbnail.

@dumbo: please don't hotlink images, but attach your files (hardcopies etc.) to your postings.

Marking thread as "solved" then.

First of all, you should rename your custom theme. I did this for you and added an expandalble sys menu. You'll have to adapt the stylesheet - the vertical align doesn't work yet. Have fun.

How to replace the sort order button like the Os xtheme ?

please guide me or do me a similar modification , cos my bg image is getting doubled as seen in the preview

Title: Re: Need a vista aero theme for copper mine gallery !!!
Post by: Joachim Müller on February 17, 2008, 02:24:45 am
Edit theme.php. The variable you need to edit is $template_thumb_view_title_row. As it doesn't exist within your custom theme, you'll need to copy it in (usually from themes/sample/theme.php), which would be
Code: [Select]
// HTML template for title row of the thumbnail view (album title + sort options)
$template_thumb_view_title_row = <<<EOT

                        <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
                        <tr>
                                <td width="100%" class="statlink"><h2>{ALBUM_NAME}</h2></td>
                                <td><img src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" alt="" /></td>
                                <td class="sortorder_cell">
                                        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
                                        <tr>
                                                <td class="sortorder_options">{TITLE}</td>
                                                <td class="sortorder_options"><span class="statlink"><a href="thumbnails.php?album={AID}&amp;page={PAGE}&amp;sort=ta" title="{SORT_TA}">&nbsp;+&nbsp;</a></span></td>
                                                <td class="sortorder_options"><span class="statlink"><a href="thumbnails.php?album={AID}&amp;page={PAGE}&amp;sort=td" title="{SORT_TD}">&nbsp;-&nbsp;</a></span></td>

                                        </tr>

                                </td>
                        </tr>
                        </table>

or take it from themes/mac_ox_x/theme.php:
Code: [Select]
// HTML template for title row of the thumbnail view (album title + sort options)
$template_thumb_view_title_row = <<<EOT

Learn how to upgrade your cpg while your at it ;) You are running <!--Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.4.12 (stable)--> when 1.4.16 is the latest most secure version.

Cheers

You might as well consider to donate your custom theme - if you decide to do so (make it publicly available for others), make sure that all the images you use are free. Then start a new thread in this board, with your custom theme folder attached.
Title: Re: Need a vista aero theme for copper mine gallery !!!
Post by: dumbo on February 18, 2008, 08:20:17 am
Sure i ll donate my custom theme , no probs at all ! , all images are made by me in photoshop , except the theme is vista Os inspired iam a great great fan of vista Os GUI (Even though its one among the worst Os ever Developed ) . hope there wont be any trouble in the vista theme :( , would billy mind ?   ?    ?

Thanks for your readiness to share. No PHP skills needed to upgrade. What you need to do to perform the upgrade is being explained in the docs (upgrading section).
