Thanks very much Stramm,
The "Squared Thumbnail" feature is very good. It makes a page looks much neater and more elegant. I hope this gets incorporated as an option (rather than a mandatory feature) in the next version. I state as "an option" because in extreme cases -- like panorama or extreme verticals -- the resulting thumbnail does not capture the essence of the photo. This is much like what happens to movies when edited get shown on more "squared television" versus the "panavision" that you get in movie theaters. I should say, only the original photographer or those who are more discriminating may notice. On the whole, I like the feature a lot.
I thought I would play with it before writing to you, to share some of my observations.
First: I incorporated the mini-thumbnail in the "film strip". [re:

Second: What feature option did you activate so that the mini-thumbnail becomes the default for the album photo.
Third: I revised the layout of the theme pages, for example, to make it much easier for the visitor to remember, I placed the "theme module" for all those I selected at the bottom of the page. My goal is to remove as much clutter at the top. For the same reason, I placed the "Greeting and Buddies" module info at the bottom, i.e,,

Is there a way to have alternative format, e.g., a single line format, instead of a three-row and align right format with no "positioning" so that it could be more easily integrated in any position of the page.
Fourth: I found the "anycontent.php" for the "custom footer" but I could not find the one for the "custome header". What is the name of the php file for the latter?
I have more questions and suggestions, but I will post them later. Thanks again, for this very useful module.
