Minor but annoying issue

I like the new fade text, but...

If your album title breaks to two lines, it looks really bad. Can there be some logic in where the fade starts if there is two lines?

Nope. But you can make the description area taller in your design to avoid the issue.

Adjusting from 100px to 104px seems to have worked around it.

Some descriptions are going to be waaaaay too long to accommodate by making the height tall enough to accommodate the whole thing. The fade is a really elegant solution BTW

Another way would be to have the Album Title and Album Description be the same size font, but I haven't figured out where that is set yet...

custom css

the album title has a font-size: 1em; and the album description has font-size: smaller;
you can match them by using this in custom css:

.album-title {
font-size: smaller;
}

or you can change the font size of both title and description if you wish

.album-title, .album-description {
font-size: xxx ;
}

That's the right answer!:

.album-title {
     font-size: smaller;
}    
.album-description {
     font-weight:  lighter; 
}

added the font weight tag. Put the height back to 100

I find the fade works really nicely when the album description displayed in the auto index is of the same text appearing in copy on the gallery itself.

Agreed, that's How I do it

It would be awesome if the "page copy (md)" field of the Page Content tab would pre-fill from the "Title" and "Description" fields of the Base Settings Tab as:

##[Album Tittle]
[Album Description]

Then I would not have to copy and paste so much

Please consider that a feature request (or perhaps a button to fill it in, or "leave blank to use Album Title and Description")
