I've just installed Gallery2 and have embedded it into my website. Looks okay except I can't get the background colour to change. The link below is the embedded page and if you click on any of the other site links on the left menu you will see what colour the background should be.

Many thanks in advance.

looks pretty good to me, except I'm not crazy about the siriux theme ;)
My easy embed form could have helped you.

But since this is your page, you can add your own adjustment style after the call to gallery's head.
I have many samples.

Many thanks. I had tried your form and it didn't work for me the first time. Re-tried it and it works great now :)

Could I ask you to look at something else for me please :) If you go into any of the albums and click a thumbnail to goes to a 'broken' image. However if you then click the 'full size' link the image displays okay. Is there any way of making the thumbnail go directly to the full size image?

Sorry new link is

seems your thumbnails and full images are ok, but your intermediate resizes have failed to build.
Could be a server memory shortcoming, could be an image toolkit shortcoming or both.
please post your system info including phpinfo

my point above was the clear theme which blends better w/ many sites and the ability to add your own adjustment styles directly in your embed page.

also along with your phpinfo I requested gallery info

Thanks have downloaded and installed the theme. Any ideas about the intermediate images?

When I re-build the thumbnails it says 'processing # of 482' but I've only 245 images in the gallery. Could this be causing the problem?

Gallery builds thumbs and resizes as "derivatives", so depending on how many resizes you have chosen, there would be at least 2x as many images.

Sorted - I changed the toolkit priority putting GD at the top and re-ran the thumbnail rebuild :)
