Neptune - Info Page formatting question

Scratching my head on this one ...
In my zrwon.com site I'm using a photo in the info page. Displayed on iPhone the photo touches the top & side edges (no black space between). Displayed on desktop the photo touches the top edge but has a 4-5 px space on the left & right edges, creating a narrow black margin.

I've tinkered with margin & padding settings in CSS but unable to find a setting that allows the photo to fill to the top & side edges. Yes, I've tried it on several browsers - same result. I've also cleared the cache - no change.

If the left/right sides cannot be changed, changing the ip-image to have a 5px top padding makes the top look the same as the sides and is acceptable if there is no other solution. Best solution might be to delete the photo.

Still learning - but I'm a bit stumped on this one.

Again, kudos for changing the way the info page works - this is a huge improvement to Neptune.

The skin is expecting more typical info page content, so it's leaving some "breathing room" around the box, so that the usual two-color scheme (box on background) always works. Easy to defeat with one more piece of custom CSS:
.ja-ipbox > div {
	max-width: 400px;
}
The regular CSS is setting the max box width to 10px less than your stated max page width.

Funny coincidence - the only reason it looks OK to you on a phone is that the screen width on the phone is in the same neighborhood as your max page width. The info page popup gets reduced to something less than 390px, so the image fills the box!

Glad you like it! It's one of those things that struck me in the face one morning - why didn't I do this before?! It also gets rid of some very nasty navigation problems.

The previous info page was quite adequate but the new design just adds an extra touch of class. Looking forward to the next release.

Neptune 128 is now out. Alert the media and release the hounds!

Only one thing that will probably interest you, to wit, the option to alter the dimming background:

More subtle....

In prior versions, the color of the info page expander box was drawn from the body color of the album pages. But in this newest version, if you're using the Custom style, the expander box takes its color from the info page Page background.

On your main site, the expander box is black - see screenshot, grabbed just before the info page content was loaded. But you're replacing that with a blue linear gradient. However, the expander knows nothing about that until the modal window is fully launched. But you could go to the Neptune > Custom > Info page > Page background setting, and define it as something like #000060. Then the expander box would be a deep blue, about midway on your linear gradient.

Yes - I had noticed that and have been tinkering with different values. The linear gradient was a hold over from several versions back (mine, not yours) when I was not using a full page theme image. Seemed like a good idea at the time but plan to continue trying different scenarios. Thanks for the suggestion.
