Sorry that I didn't get back to this...I've been pretty busy. Yes the Pinned-Gray is one of the standalone themes at sf.net site. I like it to the point I'm using part of it as the theme to my site with, of course, copyright credit going to the original designer.
So, far 1.2 both stand alone and phpnuke has worked fine for me. However, getting my host at my non- phpnuke site to upgrade to GD2 has gone un-answered. I've noticed with GD1 the photo's looked a little washed out. On my Nuke site they have GD2 installed and the same pics come out excellant. No complaints there. Also, I have programmed in a few languages, and have started diving into PHP and fine it to be a lot of fun. Now that I have set up IBserver on my home cpu I will look into modifying the theme for PHPnuke.
One thought, have you guys ever looked into NetPbm as an alternate to GD and imagemagik. After reading the support forum it seems to me it would get rid of a few problems people complain about and free them up from relying solely on their host to provide the GD and Imagemagick. One of your competitors (which you probably don't want to hear about), Gallery, uses a binary package of NetPBM that the end-user can easly place in a folder right in their root directory. It does everything you want it to do and allows for gifs. Now don't get me wrong. I used Gallery for a little while and it produced nice quality pics. But, I really like Coppermine much better for ease of operation, it's layout, and the professional appearance that it brings and I'd recomend Coppermine to anyone that would ask me. Like I said, it's just a thought and a suggestion to a possible alternate or additional tool.
