It is beautiful, did you work on visual identity too (logo, colors, etc...)?
-
thanks ivan...
of course...all by me
also the photographs are all taken by me... one of my hobbies!
-
Great work! I did find one silly error... when you are on english language and click on Gallery, gallery shows up in greek. ???
-
you mean clicking on description photo...
i hoped that people wouldn't find this so easily...
perhaps i need to remove that link from the photos in album description
and generally to avoid links in descriptions.
any ideas about giving startgallery a multilingual interface or if there is future plan on this?
or at least how can i add multilingual links in stargallery descriptions ?
-
I think it is not hard to implement multilingual filter into galleries categories, but I never tried.... I remember having one site with two languages and Star Gallery, I must find it and see what I have done there.

Good design and very good Elxis implementation! It is always good to see a unique design not based on the standard templates. Here are my remarks:
1) My screen has more vertical space than covered by the front page and I can see white space under the footer. May be add some color to the body background?
2) Right menu and other text could be a bit more contrasty (Who's online module totally blends with the background).
Thanks for sharing.
-
Here is another suggestion I found: some paragraphs do not have space between them, some have. This inconsistency repeats throught the pages. It is always easier to read from the screen if paragraphs are spaced.
-
Thanks all for everything..
Pavel
I don't think that who is online mod totally blends with background.... also we don't always want a high contrasted site.
for the paragraphs ... still working on this... in order to find which layout of sentences will catch visitors ayes better without to start making bold text and so on...
white space below frontpage... what's your monitor's resoloution... i don't think that there, in any way, possible to have more white space than content...if this could happened , it would be annoying yes...
so what resolution?
Of course a module will be published in front page and it will fill up all or more space, so i don't really care .
Many pages have this behavior when content is not enough...! you see, height in browsers is a big matter (till css3)
Also is not advisable to set a background color other than white.
Any way, thanks for your time to see, check and comment my site...
Thanks, you really helped me.

Text was fixed nicely :)
degree of bg blending with text - designer's decision.
I have 1440x1050 at home and 12..x 870 or something similar in the office. I attached a screenshot of my home screen. In the office it looks similar.
I guess it is a general problem with 100% width footers: if content is smaller than 100% browser height - there will be space under your footer visible. So if you don't specify body bg color, it will look white on large monitors.
You don't have to use 100% width footer. You can make it only the width of your main container. But then you have to specify the same body color as the bottom color line.

you guess completely wrong.
percentage heights i told you that can not be set always with css....
you must know that this is not an error but a ccs-browser behavior
(can't you wait till i publish my module? and by the way this in screen shot isn't what you talking about "more white space than content")
this that wrote

is not only applying to my site.. is general .. i was talking in general. make a test to okto!
we want white bg for printer-tiny editor <<< this is advisable
why you think i don't want a 100% footer.. this is not a mistake is a choice.
and believe me... is better 100% width.. i can say cause i tested it.
perhaps you don't like it.... i cant do anything about it!

I positively agree about white color for bg for the editor. Thanks for explaining why my editor shows my body bg image.... :) And I totally agree with your choice of color.

A small quote
"for your bg
add a wrapper and put there your bg-image so you can left body white
also you might set overflow:hidden, width:100%, margin 0 auto, etc. in that wrapper, and make that rss images smaller , thats your problem to the right! the images!

Here is how I got rid of my color bg of tinymce editor (eBlog, so I used front template css customization file only).
.mceContentBody {background: none; background: white;}
=> I got rid of my body bg image and then made it white.
With this setting I can use any template body bg I want. Actually, this css property must be included in the standard.css of Elxis. I can hardly see any situation when a color or pattern or image bg is good for editing content items. It can always be overwritten later.

there is not only tinymce
