- Description
XHTML 1.0 Strict, CSS level 2.1
No inline frames, no Flash, no JavaScript required.
The basic look is "classic", clean and simple, though it is highly customizable. Thumbnails are aligned at their base for a clean look when images of various height or captions spanning multiple lines are present.
Subdirectories are displayed as ringbook style mini-albums - choose from 10 different designs.
New user-defined color styles can be easily created and saved from the skin's settings interface.
Some features:
- Cross Folder Navigation: "Next image" can cross folder boundaries now! The last image in one folder will link to the first image of the next neighbouring folder and vice versa.
- Image filter support (shadows, watermark, greyscale, logo, shadow text, random thumbnail rotation)
- Direct high-resolution image download via a 'download' button
(no need to 'right click - save as...' on the image).
- Slideshow
- Mouseover information on thumbnails
- Keyboard navigation
- Custom logo image on index pages
- Extensive metadata (EXIF/IPTC) display options
- Multi-language support in generated Albums (en, de, es, fr, it, sv).Optional settings which do require JavaScript:
- Slideshow transitions
- Keyboard navigation control
- Original images open in new browser window
Browsers without JavaScript enabled simply ignore these settings.W3C compliance: The generated code is valid XHTML 1.0 Strict, CSS level 2.1

+ Skin handles "unsafe" characters, like ampersands (&) or other non-ASCII characters and encodes them to their respective HTML entities (e.g. &#60;).
Auto-detects if an ampersand is part of an already user-escaped character. This has been implemented primarly to ensure XHTML 1.0 Strict compliance if unsafe characters are present in file names or titles / comments / captions.

See Settings > Classic Aligned 2 > Custom Style
- Bugfix: User settings are loaded properly again with project files. (Bug since 2.6.1)
2.6.4 Jul 23, 2008
+ Highlight thumbnails on mouseover (optional setting) - similar to a "Click button" effect.
Pure CSS, no JavaScript needed.
Unfortunately, the effect will not be visible in MS Internet Explorer up to version 6 (incl.), as IE does not fully comply with W3C standards and simply ignores the code. Note: This is NOT a "Optimized for xyz browser" setting, it is valid XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS level 2.1 code, which should be recognized by all modern browsers. If not, it displays plain and simple as if the option was not checked.
+ Image border width for thumbnails and slides can be set by user.
+ Rating available not only for images, but also for folders.
- Bugfix: Folder thumbnails for linked images working again. (Bug since 2.6.2)
- Bugfix: Logo in upper right corner on index pages working again. (Bug since 2.6)
2.6.3 Jul 3, 2008

+ Improved support for square thumbnails - select between crunched and cropped mode.
+ Improved custom style handling - easily create and save custom styles.
2.6.1 Jun 14, 2008

+ IPTC keywords available under images on index and slide pages.
2.6 Jun 5, 2008
+ Added support for image rating as introduced with Jalbum 8.
+ Added option to use different thumbnail icons for video and audio files instead of Jalbum's default "movie.gif" icons for both file types.
+ New look for non-JPEG files: Installed several new icons for filetypes like audio, movie, text etc.
2.5.11 May 27, 2008
+ Added support for new folder AND image "title" fields. Retains compatibility with projects created with Jalbum versions prior to Jalbum 8.
2.5.10 May 23, 2008
- Bugfix: Removed option to use a separate 'download' directory, which caused trouble when working with non-JPEG files (e.g. movie files - they were not accessible by clicking on the link).
+ Added option to display file size under thumbnail file names of non-JPEG files, as they are linked directly to the maybe large file instead of a slide page.
2.5.9 Jul 3, 2007
+ Added breadcrumb directory navigation option (multilevel directory links)
+ Improved support for folder thumbnails: Works with "virtual" (linked) Files, even if the file is excluded from album generation
+ If original files are copied for download, they will be placed in a separate 'download' directory in the corresponding output directory.

Thanks for your fast reaction. Here are some examples http://www.gvoetbalpuurs.be/FamilieTornooi/slides/FamilieTornooi180212001.html http://www.gvoetbalpuurs.be/Nieuwe%20Uitrusting/slides/Andre%20Teugels.html http://www.gvoetbalpuurs.be/Puurs3%20-%20Lentezon3/slides/IMG_6137.html

I see this code in your index page HTML which was *not* generated by jAlbum or the skin, and it overrrides the skin's colors: body,td,th { color: #006600; } body { background-color: #aed652; } If you want to set the skin's colors so that they match the colors in the above code, go to Settings > Classic Aligned 2 > Custom style > CSS select the desired colors there and select the "Custom" style from the dropdown box (right above 'Make Album')

vkb When I change the color of the background in the index-file, I would like that the bachgound of the slideshow changes as well. But sometimes it does, and other files it doesn't. hat can I do? And how to insert mp3?
12 days agoHeinz-Peter Bader
You can add MP3files to an album just like any photo. Re the background color - it should generally be the same for all album pages - can you provide a link to a non-working example?
2 months agoHeinz-Peter Bader
It is in no way controlled by the skin how videos are played. This is all up to the browser and the viewer's computer setup. The skin simply links to a video file without any further action.

Nice and clean skin, which is what I'm looking for. Just a question: for the "Square thumbnails", there are two modes: sueezed or cropped. Could you add a third one where photos are put inside the square without crop nor deformation, just reduced to fit along the largest side? Thanks.
2 months agoHeinz-Peter Bader
This is the skin's default behavior, *without* any square thumbnails option selected.
