Is there a theme available that is also able to theme Gallry2 stuff when Gallery2 is embedded inside Drupal?

Right now, I am using the B7 theme (Drupal 4.7) and it looks ok, but you can tell its not a part of the core site. Is there any theme out there that really makes Gallery2 look like its part of the core, and not an embedded item.

Thanks

I use WPG2 CollageEffect, it's a good starting point for my site. Needed a bit of tweaking but you can judge for yourself whether it seems integrated enough or not at http://pendery.info

That looks pretty good. Looks like it has been styled to fit quite nicely. Did you start with a drupal them, or a gallery2 theme?
And I like that the big Gallery logo icon isnt displayed on your gallery pages.

Glad you like it.

Initially I setup Drupal then chose this Gallery Theme as it's reasonably plain, then I tweaked it to get the headers etc right. When I upgraded to Drupal 5.0 and the Garland theme it needed very little extra tweaking.

You're not going to get something that works straight off but there's a couple of very minimal Gallery themes that make a good place to start.

This now looks like it fits at least, but it's far from integrated I've been thinking about moving to the image module and related bits to get a solution where the pictures really are part of drupal.

I have just started working w/ a couple of artists setting up websites. My method of choice is to set them up w/ Drupal and an embedded gallery (like yours.) It's early enough in the process to start w/ Drupal 5. How is the setup with Gallery? I've done this for my 4.7 site and it was a little tricky.

BTW-Good looking site!

It's pretty much the same as in 4.7, follow the instructions carefully and it's not too hard.

I used your website and the original (updated) CollageEffect from the forum

and created a working tgz for my sites, you can find this pack on my website;

Glad my site has helped. I have to say my efforts at hacking the styling were "amateur" to say the least and I'm glad you've put together something that other people can actually use.

I'm moving all my stuff onto a Drupal Image Module based gallery because I've found Gallery too slow with my hosting company. I'm pretty pleased with the way that's turned out and it needed a lot less styling than the Gallery version. If anyone's interested it's at http://pendery.org

cheers
