Hello Jim!

Re: Is it possible background change.

Ok I might be abit dumb with this stuff... but nowhere can I see where I can change a background the word is only mentioned once in the whole article/how to... OK so I will try another way of asking... Can I load and index from a created gallery into dreamweaver and just change the background from black to anything else (I know the answer is no, well it didnt work 4 me)... ?????????? Still lost and dumb as bats droppings... hahahaha...

Jim!

We don't know if you can work with Photo! Web Album templates in Dreamwever, cause it supports only standard apps.

But if you read the Web Album templats specification, you could change the background of existing template.

For example, for "Cats" template the background image is in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_ACCOUNT\Application Data\Photo! Web Album\DesignTemplates\Cats\images - file "bg.gif"

In other templates situation is the same.

Re: Is it possible background change.

Ok I have started to play around. When I put my new folder back into the C:\Documents and Settings\Client\Application Data\Photo! Web Album\DesignTemplates folder the new template doesnt appear when I open the program (according to docs it supposed to... Any pointers as to why it doesnt appear with the other templates ????
Thanx again for ya advice (and patience)...

Jim, it's a small but valuable detail:

You need to change a template's name in C:\Documents and Settings\Client\Application Data\Photo! Web Album\DesignTemplates\YOUR_NEW_TEMPLATE\template.xml file.

To make it take your new template's forlder, find in it "template.xml" file and open it for example with WordPad or Notepad.
Then find the line "<NAME>....</NAME>" and set an unique name for your new template between the tags.

Don't forget to save the file. Then launch Photo! Web Album and you'll see your new template in a templates' panel smile
