What aspect ratio should I use in Iconic for a thumbnail border?

I would like a thumbnail border of approximately 10px in Auto Index using Iconic.  Iconic only has numbered settings for Aspect Ratio - there is no auto selection.  I tried setting it visually to 4 and 3 which looked OK in the preview but the published version has no border.  How do I calculate the Aspect Ratio of these thumbnails? 

Thanks
Charles

Re: What aspect ratio should I use in Iconic for a thumbnail border?

you can place a border around the container (not the thumbnails themselves) and then size your thumbnails to fill the space, essentially placing a border on the images. Unless your gallery/album thumbnails are large enough to do this, you'll probably want to create custom thumbnails (which is what is recommended with iconic)

Go it, thanks.  It's just seems odd that if I select "Custom" in the Edit Album Cover Image dropdown, nothing happens.  But the actual cover image is the first one in the long list of images under custom.  Is that the way it's supposed to work?

to tell you the truth, I'm not sure what Custom does in the drop-down. But if you place custom thumbnails in the custom-thumbnails/ folder, those thumbs will be at the top of the drop-down list
