You must use 100px width on thumbnails. There are no height restrictions. So square should work just fine as long as you use 100x100 like patpro does.

Thanks. How to change quantity of a photo in caroussel and their width (for example 7 or 8 photos 60x60)?

You can't. It's made to have five images of 100px wide.

Great theme Marco!! Is there a way to insert my own logo in the header bigger than 28 pixels? Where would I look to do this? Thanks

[TheMarco]

@jmaentz it's possible I guess but it would require quite a few CSS changes. My recommendation would be to create your own extra CSS file with overrides for the header height, placement of the image info overlay and possibly other things (I didn't check everything) and then link that CSS file in after photoblog_compressed.css.

As said, it can be done but probably only if you know CSS fairly well. The file to look at would be photoblog.css (uncompressed version), find the things that need changing and implement them in your own overriding CSS file.

Hi TheMarco any ideia when the final version became ready ?

@lfp I think next week! I haven't found any significant bugs anymore. I had some people reporting problems but those turned out to be caused by other issues so I'll do some cleaning up and declare it 1.0.

After this I will be focusing on a 'pro' version with more exciting features which will be available for a small fee. The 1.0 version will stay free for non-commercial use forever and will keep getting bugfix/maintenance updates as issues come up.

[lfp]

ok fine i'm just waiting for the release of 1.0 version to start my page.
can you already give us an ideia of the new features from the pro version ?
when it should be released ? what should be the amount for the small fee ?

thanks and keep on with your good work

Things I have in mind:

- 3 adjustable page widths: 700, 800, 900px and 950px (wider is a bad idea)
- Collapsible comment pane
- Advanced AJAX powered search/explore page

The commercial price will stay $99, the non-commercial price for the pro version will probably be between $20-$30 as I definitely don't want to scare anyone away by a too high price.
