Solution to comment below - You can just untick the "Navigation links on slides" and "show comments" options to disable these features. You can then save the modified project as either hints.jap, replacing the original "hints.jap" file in the skin folder or as any project name you want in any folder you want.

I have been using this skin for a while now and find it really useful, especially as I build strict compliant websites. I'm in the process of looking at building something similar to this without the image map option and optional comments as this isn't what I use for every album. I think this is the best strict valid XHTML based Album on the site! Posted 3 minutes ago
