It was working fine. When I installed 1.1rc2, things borked themselves

Were you using 9.2 Album before ?
Anyway, it just looks like the images are bigger than the background. Do you want them that size? Or the default 100px width? Check you CSS for Album - perhaps this got changed? Also you seem to be using a template which has a few problems - check out the thread for updates.

I has a quick look, you could make your thumbnail smaller - say max width 100px or alter the CSS
to 200px width - these bits
/* Album and Picture Lists */
.thumb
{
padding:0;
width:200px;
margin:0 0.5em 0.5em 0;
/* Thumbnail spacing */
text-decoration:none;
line-height:normal;
list-style-type:none;
text-align:center;
float:left;
}
.thumb a
{
display:block;
/* Set link formatting*/
width:200px;
/* Thumb width*/
Also you are using the slimbox rather than Thickbox JS and template - which is what confused me, sorry.

Yeah, i like the slimbox rather than thickbox.
Ok, i must have modified the css on the previous version of album, but updating it over wrote it.
I'll see if that fixes it when i get home.
thanks!

I have a better template for the Thickbox stuff which has been updated, theThickbox JS and the CSS and the Jquery JS. Unfortunately due to my error, a bad version of the template was shipped with Album 0.92.) This is much more accessible than the slimbox one and has quite a few other features which in my humble opinion are better - scaling and centring of images for one
Maybe not so cool looking - but more people will be able to use it! The cool looking is mostly CSS anyway! I'm going to have a look at making it work much better when Javascript is turned off - when I get five minutes... There are also a couple more accessibility issues I'd like to address.
Worth a look, this site is using the new template - the one without the 'JS turned off fixes'.
