    Hi Mark

    As a Danish in Spain, I have been running a portal about Spain for Scandinavian people in 7 years - and from 2006 a similar version in English.
    I have been using different photo galleries until I found your program 2 days ago. NOW I am changing everything!
    THIS IS JUST THE BEST!
    - and I am now working hard to show our visitors hundreds of photos with help of your very easy and nice program!
    I am starting with the Danish version, and the English will be similar - but before I continue, I have few problems, that I would like to be solved:

    I want another color in the scrollbar, and I have follow the steps, that you have explain in this forum. Added the code in the end of "Edit stylesheet template"..
    Here the code:

    body { background-image: url(http://www.spanienifokus.com/images/bg_image2.gif); }

    body {
    scrollbar-track-color: #adafbe;
    scrollbar-3d-light-color: #CCCCCC;
    scrollbar-arrow-color: #C0C0C0;
    scrollbar-base-color: #272c53;
    scrollbar-dark-shadow-color: #CCCCCC;
    scrollbar-face-color: #272c53;
    scrollbar-highlight-color: #cccccc;
    scrollbar-shadow-color: #CCCCCC;
    }

    I have tried everything, but it's NOT working? NOTE: The background-image is working fine!

    I have read, that it's not possible to change language for "Previous" and "Next". Petty - but I can live with this at the moment.
    BUT:
    It's very important to change the link on "Index" (I would also like to change the name to e.g.: Choose new Album).

    You will see why, when you look at my site. there is to many click. It is not necessary to go to the Index page. It makes more sense to go back to my "main" page for choosing another album. I hope you understand me. Please try it!
    My site is http://www.spanienifokus.com
    Here you have the link in the left site, but I will give the directly link here: http://www.spanienifokus.com/spaininphoto.htm

    Here I show all the albums (there is coming much more :O) Click on one of them, and you will go to the index.html. Click on a photo - OK. Now my visitors is watching the photos and want to see another album. And HERE the "index" should let them go back to http://www.spanienifokus.com/spaininphoto.htm.

    I now it's not possible to change this link in the stylesheet template - but can you do something for me, before I go ahead with our English version.
    I would be so happy!!

    Once again: This program is the best on the market! THANKS A LOT!

    PS! I am making web sites for customers, and I am sure, that some of them would like to move the link to you. Can you give a price for this license - just in case?

    You can change the name of the back to home link, click on my username go to my albums and you will see. Mine works exactly the way you are talking about. But you have to do it for each album, on the Index HTML page. Scroll down the HTML sheet, and you will find the link, just edit it. You can open the Index HTML in Notepad, MS Word, or a HTML editor.

    The scroll bar code only works for Internet Explorer, and I am not sure about Vista. We do not use it so I have no way to tell. But may not, since Vista Explorer is much like FireFox.

    Hi Steve
    (Sorry, I am new in the Forum - I thought that there was only Mark :O)

    Thank you for quick respons, but I think you have misunderstood me:

    Of course I can change it manuelt, but I am talking about the pages with photos (not the Index page):
    Previous - Index - Next

    It is the INDEX link I want to change. And therefore I have to go to ALL html pages in an album. THIS is not possible.

    About the Scrollbar: I am using Internet Explorer (and not Vista)?

    Ok, now I know what you want. The answer is no, and if you did you would have to change every Photo page. The source code is not available to do this, as the CSS is. I am not sure Mark would even want to open up this code. And you can't do this from CSS.

    I think I see what your problem is with the scroll bars, two Body tags. Take out the second Body tag, and it should work.

    You could add an extra link in the head beside Back Home. By starting it after the </ a>, and before </ span>. You can space them out by using &nbsp; between links, several times to get the spacing you want. But be sure you add another </ a> after this link, otherwise your whole page will become a link.

    Hi again Steve

    Could you please show me (the code) which body tag you mean...?

    And..
    The link to Back home is good enough, I don't need more here. But it would really be nice, if the link "index" on the photo page could go to my main page instead of index.html. It's an extra click to go after a new album.
    But if it can not be done...it's a petty...

    And of course. I know what you mean with the folder. I just like to have them collected, so I know where all the albums is.

    ------> `body {
    scrollbar-track-color: #adafbe;
    scrollbar-3d-light-color: #CCCCCC;
    scrollbar-arrow-color: #C0C0C0;
    scrollbar-base-color: #272c53;
    scrollbar-dark-shadow-color: #CCCCCC;
    scrollbar-face-color: #272c53;
    scrollbar-highlight-color: #cccccc;
    scrollbar-shadow-color: #CCCCCC;
    }`

    The one here at the start of the scroll bar code.

    Thanks Steve

    I had tried that, but it didn't work - therefor I was asking...
    I don't understand why, so maybe I should forget it. It was just, so it could look like the rest of my site...

    One more thing if you stop back by. I use a background image on my site, followed by other codes. I don't have any problems, but my code is a little different.

    I use body {background: url(bla bla.jpg);} not background-image. Something is stopping the browser from looking at the scroll-bar code, this might be it. Everything in style has to be exact or it doesn't work.

    Check here for code that works. http://www.ornj.net/support/topic/page-scroll-bar-code-for-css-sheet-that-works
