Description OverviewA gallery skin to go with my Butterfly Journal Skin . I have updated it for a cleaner look, and to correct glitches that were caused by DeviantART's upcoming larger thumbnails.

If you installed this skin before August 2, 2012, please feel free to reinstall it, to fix the issues described below.

Gallery Skins are a Premium Member feature. (August 7, 2012 is Free Premium Member day!)

To use, download the .ZIP file (top right). There is a file with instructions included. If you run into any trouble while installing or afterwards, leave a comment.

This skin is free to use without asking permission, but I would love to hear your feedback!

Feel free to tweak this skin or use it as a template. All I ask is that you keep the included credits if you keep the artwork.

~ See how this skin looks on your computer! ~

Beta Testers, Please Read Known Glitches

Stored and Mature Content deviations are hidden by the art borders. All links still work.

Extra wide deviations have very thin, vertical bars on either side. This does not interfere with layout or links.

Extra tall deviations have very thin, horizontal bars above and below.This does not interfere with layout or links.

I'm afraid I don't know the solution to these issues, and I did not find that these issues prevented the skin from working correctly, so I will not be attampting to fix them.

If you experience any other problems while using this skin, please let me know so I can report it here and attempt to fix it.

Features

.PNGs are transparent! That's right! That hideous white box has been eliminated.

Literature deviations have the same customized font and color as the rest of the skin.

Hover features are included for links and thumbs.

Got another feature that you'd like to see on a future gallery skin? I love improving my CSS and learning new things, so feel free to leave a comment!

Premium Members, Please Read Known Glitches

Stored and Mature Content deviations are hidden by the art borders. All links still work.

Literature deviations auto align themselves to the top right, and the text stays centered. The link still works, but is very unpleasant on the eyes. This issue has been resolved! Type the following italic text into your Gallery folder's CSS box, on it's own line:

.folderview-art .shadow .lit .lit
{
padding-top: 7px;
padding-left: 3px;
width:30px;
height: 150px;
}

Since DeviantART is switching over to the new, larger thumbnails in the future, I will not be fixing these, or any other issue that may arise. Thanks for understanding.

Hello there. This is really pretty. Do you do custom gallery skins? If so, what are your prices?

I'm afraid I'm not making any Gallery Skins at this time, simply because I don't have the time due to real life. How dare it.

Oh ok. No problem, I understand.
Yes, how dare RL get in the way of DA fun.
Thank you for letting me know though. Do you happen to know anyone else that does them that may have commissions or requests open? If not, its all good. Thanks though

Capukat used to do journal skins, I'm not sure if she still does. What did you have in mind, by the way? I've been wanting to get back into making art of some kind and a CSS might be the way to do it. I don't charge, but it would probably take a bit to finish.

Fantastic! I am working with this deviant at the moment, but you can feel free to message her if you want to as well, since you'll probably be a lot faster than I will.

Oh thank you. I will check them out and see. 

I was wanting a couple gallery skins for my galleries. Umm don't have anything in particular, except for something pretty, and elegant looking..ooo even maybe with some westerny in there too. Was wanting one to have a big pic in the middle that would show on my main gallery that would be welcoming people to my gallery. But I guess you can't use the skins on the main gallery page, only in the folders. But I need something that will have what i write in the gallery to show..and to show the thumbs of the pics that i have posted. Just really wanted something that was for me.. like the main one would have Welcome To Free Rein Stables gallery...or soemthing like that. One of my cousins that are on here was gonna make the horse picture to go on it for the main gallery one. I like how you have the set up on this one. i like how the name of the folder is bigger writing/italic/bold...so its easy to see. And I like the Welcome to my gallery too. Oh, maybe u could use the pic shes gonna do like how you have the butterfly here? The stable colors are black, purple, and teal. I like butterflies, roses, and waterfalls.. i like other things too.. horses are my fav animal, but like all animals. like music.. umm.. can't think of anything else right now. Oh i dont mind if it takes u a little bit to do. If you wouldn't mind at least trying something..I would be greatly appreicated. Thank you.

Unfortunately, you are right about not being able to customize the gallery's front page. The best you could do would be to would be to have a deviation made that says something like "Welcome to My Gallery" and have it be the only deviation on the Featured page. I believe it will be centered if it is the only one there. I know that is not preferable, but it's the best we have util dA lets us customize the front gallery page.

You let me know when your cousin has that pic ready and if they are ok with me using it in a gallery skin. Also, I don't charge at all for skins, but usually will have the skins available for all to use. In this case, I would imagine you'd like this just for you? If so, that's totally fine. Once your cousin has the pic ready, you can feel free to message me with any details you might want, including how many different skins, if you want icons/journal skins/ custom box skins, what colors for each skin, any images you find or might like, etc.

And you are most welcome. Thanks for your interest in my work!

Oh well DA needs to hurry up and make it so we can customize the front gallery page. Yea I will have to do the only deviation page int here for now. 

Oh yes, we have already discussed you (or whoever I was able to find that would do it for me) would be aloud to use it. But i'm thinking of using that one that she does for just the main gallery page... and then having the skins for the folders and such. And I would have no problem others using it. Though, I was thinking of having my Stables name on them, but if u simply take that part out and make them separate, others could use them too hmm maybe I could have someone (or me..depending if i can make thme look good) make c ouple diff pics besides the big one my cousins doing.. Like have 1 mare, a stallion and foal in the pic..and that could be the pic like where u have the flower/butterfly one on this one. That could be for the stable gallery skins.. a separte one for my nordanners gallery.. like the other one but with nords instead.. and then a simple one for the rest of the gallery folders.. hmm. i gotta see if that would happen though..lol.. may just have simple ones for all of them. But as soon as I figure it all out, I'll note you. And if you have any suggestions, they are greatly appreciated. I'm always open for ideas

You are very welcome
