Hello,
I'm trying to setup a descriptive style that behaves like the one I used to with CE4.
I like this style for presenting Exhibitions.
With CE4, there is a color when mouse over, can't find it with BL2. Guess it was not implemented. Something to add in future?
With CE4, Descriptive text is added right after thumbnails and is not affected by different thumbnails width. BL2 starts text after Thumbnail Max-width. Means that if different width are used or if you resize window, when thumbnails get smaller, text stay at thumbnails Max-Width. And that's not looking good.
You can see the difference if you play with window size between CE4 and BL2
Thanks
Michel,

Thanks Rod.
So first one is OK.
I'll wait for possible answer for the different behaviour with thumbnails width.

I guess last question is for Matt.
Is this "text begin after thumbnails Max width" with descriptive style is really what was design in BL2? and could it be modify to "text begin after thumbnails" as in CE4 ?
thanks

I'm not sure I understand what you're wanting from the layout. They are coded differently, and album entries in Backlight 2 are designed to e more responsive than those in CE4.
Maybe if you post pictures to illustrate the difference, it will be easier to understand what you're asking.

Hi Matt,
Here is pictures of CE4 vs BL2 behaviour showing what I means.
(CE4 is left side) example 1 example 2 (example 2 better shows when there is different thumbnails size.)
You will notice that text begins just after the thumbnails with CE4 even if thumbnails gets smaller. With BL2, text begins after "thumbnails Max width" as it is defined in the Album set. So text with BL2 stays aligned and does'nt look good when resizing windows.
Take a look with a smart phone in lanscape orientation and you will have another good example.
My preference goes with CE4 behaviour. ;-) ...
You can also resize live with my two subdomain test sites CE4 and BL2
You will also notice color over mouse with CE4 that was available without css in ce4.
Thanks again

easy with custom css:
#albums figure a:hover {
background-color:red;

I'm having no such issue trying to replicate your layout. Text always displays to the immediate right of the thumbnail, regardless of size. Perhaps try adjusting the Thumbnail Max-width slider, or the size of your thumbnails?

Never mind. I see this happening when designing a layout based on landscape-oriented images, then having a portrait-orientation image show up as thumbnail. My laptop is away for service at the moment, but I'll take a look at this when I get back to work on things. In the meantime, set landscape-orientation thumbnails for your albums.
