I’m going to be traveling for the next two weeks and will likely have intermittent Internet access at best. I will be keeping up with the site, my messages, etc. as much as I am able, but replies may be delayed longer than usual and I probably will not be logging many hours on updates while I’m away.

Cheers,
Matt

Matt,

I finally got around to starting to rebuild my galleries with Shadowbox 3.0. here are a few items that are missing and are important to me:

1. Site Title and Collection Title are no longer in the header. See my site Galleries. Use first and last Red Corvettes to see the differences.

2. skin – Captions Down is missing. I figured this one out for you last year and really don’t feel like having to do it again. This is a constant item that people complain about.

I don’t use them, but round corners doesn’t seem to have any effect anyplace that I can see.

SB 3.0 did fix the failure to see large views which will get a lot of people off my back. I haven’t had time to get into the other modules I purchased but will get to them soon.

Thanks,

Paul

1. The titles have been moved into the gallery description, which I feel is a more appropriate place for them. This has also allowed me to make the header a lot more flexible for different design possibilities. The titles will not be returning to the header in any new version.

2. Shadowbox 3 is an architectural overhaul from Shadowbox 2. Everything has changed under the hood. Everything. And support for skins was not carried over to the new version. I’m not talking about the TTG update, but the updated Shadowbox JS scripts; Shadowbox no longer accepts skins.

3. Round corners are based on CSS3 and do not display in Internet Explorer, as Microsoft has (again) refused to adhere to web standards and browser conventions, and does not support most CSS3 features. Round corners will display using Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera and most other browsers; just not IE.
