Description

This is a small HTML5 compliant skin which gives maximum attention to your photos, because it will fill your screen with your photo, by adapting the image size to the screen size of your tablet or computer.
The focus is not lead away by other small pictures or text.

This skin is the successor of the 'Improved Slide Show 3' skin. In this version there are no separate slide pages, the slide page html code in now also in the index html file. This makes the space required for the album smaller, but more important because there are no page changes, it removes the flashes you see sometimes in the slide show on a Windows PC with IE or Chrome.

Navigation and control is possible via the keyboard on a PC and via one finger swipes on the iPhone or iPad and other touch screen devices. If a viewer prefers that type of interface, he/she can hide all buttons on the screen to get even more emphasis on the photo.

This skin has extended possibilities for the display of (360panorama pictures and GPS locations in Google Maps.

This skin is adapted for the iPhone / iPad and other mobile devices: large buttons for the navigation and background music via html5 instead of a flash player. So if your album is hosted on the jAlbum server, do not forget to check the check-mark 'Disable the automatic mobile version for this album' after the upload of your album.

The skin has a responsive layout of the thumbnails gallery: you can choose for an elastic table where the thumbnails grow or change if the window size changes or you can choose to reduce the number of thumbnails per row if the window width is reduced or make an elegant image gallery with the Justified Gallery plugin. A Justified Image Grid respects the original aspect ratio, no detail is lost due to cropping.

You can choose for fixed shape thumbnails or for thumbnails with the full aspect ratio (no part of the picture cropped, but showing everything).

An album may contain a mix of photos and movies. A movie is automatically started, except on mobile devices which do not allow an automatic start. If the movie is finished, the slide show continues automatically. For thumbnails of movies on the index page a special border color may be selected.

This skin allows you to use one central resources folder for all your albums.

Slide-show transitions can be chosen out of 8 transition effects (also selectable by the viewer)

Several settings can be changed by the viewer like the button size and the font size, which is is useful for small devices like an iPhone and in case you have troubles reading small letters.

You can display the slide show embedded in your web page with an iframe and you can start the slide show from a link on your web page without displaying the index page with thumb-nails.

You can choose for fixed shape thumbnails or for thumbnails with the full aspect ratio (no part of the picture cropped, but showing everything).

You can use plain text or html code both in the album description and in the slide descriptions.

Via 7 optional links on the index page, displayed as standard text buttons, as icon buttons, in a tool-bar or in the menu-bar at the top of the index page, you can add links to other albums or web-pages in a new window or in the same window. You can also display a web-page in a frame on the index page. The optional responsive menu-bar can be replaced by a Hamburger button on small devices.

Optional Google Maps location, Download image, Show EXIF data, Facebook or email 'Share' button on the index page and for each slide.

Help text in the language of the viewer and the comments in the albums can be translated to every language with the Google translation plug-in..

Use my program MakeMap to display the photos in a Google Maps or Google Earth map or OpenStreetMap with links to the slide pages.

If the album contains wide (panorama-) pictures, an expand icon is added above the image on the slide page, if check-mark 'Spherical Panoramic image' or 'Cylindrical Panoramic image'in the Panoramic image panel for an image has been set. For a 360° cylindrical panorama, you should set also set check-mark '360° panorama', in that case you can endless scroll through the panorama. If you set the 'Spherical Panoramic image' check-mark, the panorama can be viewed in Jérémys Photo Sphere Viewer.

It is also possible to view your panoramic pictures on external pages like the 360Cities.net site or with Google Street View.

jAlbums 14 web-locations are supported:
You can make a top album of albums or display the web-location in the slide page as an image with a link to open the website in a new tab or you can display the website instead of a slide image. Via extra buttons you can navigate to other parts of the album. You can use this mode to display YouTube videos and/or external panorama pages in-line in the album.

With jAlbum 15 it is now also possible to define a theme image by dragging an image to the Theme Image box in the new Folder panel. This theme image can be used as background image or as a normal (responsive-) image, defined on the Theme image tab
