Installation
Simply unpack/unzip into your themes directory and go to Admin > Appearance > Theme Choice to select the new theme. Make sure you save settings and rebuild all images/thumbs.
Thumb loading speed
The skimming part forces us to load all the images directly so in a page with a hundred albums you will actually load 50*50 (paging size * skim size) thumbs for the skimming part.
There are a few tricks to get it to load faster:
- Get faster connection/change provider to a faster one.
- Lower the skimming size (found under theme options).
- Lower the paging size (found under advanced settings).
- Lower the thumb size and rebuild all the thumbs (really not preferrable).
- Lower the resize size for pictures.
