Just wondering what to expect with regard to G2 themes in Drupal 5. The default G2 theme works fine but when I try the other themes that are bundled with the G2 install none of them work properly when embedded in Drupal.

Does the Gallery module support other themes? Are there plans to add support? Or, am I expected to start modifying G2 code/css to get the look and feel that I want?

Many thanks.

The css file supplied with gallery.module is designed to allow the standard Drupal theme (now Garland) to work with the standard Gallery2 theme (matrix). Other themes have been looked at by users (eg Siriux) but there are no plans to support a larger set of Gallery2 themes (without other users support anyway). There are simply too many themes out there and trying to get them to interwork is extremely challenging.

The Matrix theme in Gallery2 defines all its CSS tags in a way that is likely to be unique to the Gallery so there is little interference from Drupal CSS tags. Siriux, for example, does not and so the tags will clash. It's fixable, but takes considerable effort.

Understood. Thanks.

So where's the best place for me to start customizing the way Gallery2 looks in Drupal - in the gallery.module code/CSS or in Gallery2 itself?

Further to this, are you also aware that even when using the default Drupal and G2 themes changing the album item frames to a different syle (such as 'slide' in my test case) causes display issues when embedded in Drupal?
