Split skin testing

I created a new, simple skin that displays thumbnails and the lightbox side by side.

Not all features are yet functional, and only the Dark style has been elaborated.

Let me know what you think!

A nice return to a style that we haven't seen in a while. You should have used FRAMESETs.

One quick suggestion: change Show Title and Description to Show Title and Comment. Every jAlbum user in the world knows about these two variables - let's not start using different words for them!

I would also add a checkbox to that one, Use file name if no title, active only if the primary checkbox is chosen. I've got a whole set of test image files that are purposely named things like 1897 Daimler.jpg, to make life simpler.

Really like this one Laza!

I got a scripting error when feeding it a gallery containing an empty sub folder:

I guess polishing the provided set of styles is an ongoing work? You don't need so many styles I think. Now they are plenty of them, but few if any change certain background colors.

That's just a debug print. The real code does check the existence first.

It's the folder description for real, but I will have to clarify that it's about the Title page, not the lightbox image captions. That will be another box.

Jeff, can you please create a "Split" forum?

Done. Skin entry in the repository seems OK, now.
