mac-style template

[tomyeah]

i always wanted that clean look from mac-style. though i started creating this template. it should work without the browse_template and without the about_template, because i want all information on one site.

still playing around with the javascripts and css for the hover controls. no clue where to place the comments ... maybe sidebar, slideout, or slide down the thumbs onclick ... tell me what you think about it and what could be done better.

maybe its been done before and i cant find it :D

update: added the hover arrows for "prev" and "next"-links and implemented the comments slide-out. slideshow feature and email link is done as well.

Maybe my addon could be of some use?

@jaywilliams: hm, ive used reflection.js v1.6 so far ... no additional serverside work ... works pretty well ... the reflection script interferes sometimes with the style sheet and the other onload procedures, so i will make just one .js file for all the actions in the theme.

here's something that goes one step further to the mac style. use this to create a dock style thumbnail row:

@jgrayson: ya, ive thought about something like that too, but when too many images move than the playback gets a bit choppy. basicly i just want this style of the dark iWeb template ... without too many moving stuff ...
