[PXL] PP Round Thumbnail Overlay v1.2 · **Released**: 10-24-2006

PP Round Thumbnail Overlay v1.2

I've added this to a number of my sites, and thought I'd share it with members here. It's been a long time since I contributed back to this community so I wanted to start with this.

What does it do?
Basically this creates a round overlay box around all tumbnail images in your vbulletin intergreated & photopost vbgallery. I'll be working on a number of upgrades to this template hack.

I installed this a month ago but I have a small problem

- The white background (square) is not transparent, even in Firefox 2.
- the round background area is black, how do I change that color to something custom?

PhoneiX · #33 03-14-2007, 09:14 AM

Excellent Hack!

I can't wait for the vbadv 3.0 rc1 release.

Good work.

PixelFx · #39 08-04-2007, 06:05 PM

updated and tested everything on vb368, also working on v1.3 which will add even more fun to this mod.

megawelle · #40 12-25-2007, 01:09 PM

hi, is that hack compatible with vbgallery 2.4?

Squintz · #41 03-10-2008, 07:04 PM

I got this working on 2.42 with VB 3.68. but I ran into some problems with the locations of the overlay images. I had to go through the code and direct link the URL's, and it seemed to work.

Being more of a design guy, I decided to add some shadows and color to my overlays. I attached the PSD, but I corrected it for my forums thumbnail size (140px).
