Title of link to next album is not pretty if folder contains no images

I know it is a minor thing, but it caught my eye, see attached screenshot.

Laza can probably come up with a better solution in that case. Maybe a generic "folder" image for the button background?

Empty folders are the bane of a skin developer's existence - they're always a little tricky to deal with.

I would prefer only text over an additional background-image since it isn't about the folder itself, but rather about the content and I would use the text for refering to it.

I like the blue style since it reflects the other blue icons, I attached a proposal, but maybe it is too much blue?

Or perhaps just a lighter color. So, it might be a medium gray box with a dark gray border, so that the layout matches the "previous folder" link.

I agree, the blue is a little aggressive in that case.

ETA: Like the attached screenshot. It would be nice if it kept the same size as the "non-empty" folder link, too.

I like that with keeping the same style.
The color of the border is the same as the background, just brighter.
Here I took the background-color and shiftet the brightness towards the border, so it is in between.
