I have used the "Descriptive" style and do not find any setting to reduce the tumbnail size in the Pangolin version.
Here is my Okapi version, always showing the entire tumbnail picture: http://britogtruls.no/produkter.php
My Okapi settings:
Style: Descriptive
Album Max-width 600px
Album Height 100px
Album Padding 6px
Thumbnail Max-width 168px

Thumbnail size is determined by available space in the cell. If you increase the number of columns, the cells will be smaller and so will the thumbnails.
The available space for thumbnails is also affected by things like Gutter and aspect ratio

What I actually means, is that by using the Okapi parameter,
"Thumbnail Max-width
Constrains the album thumbnail, preventing wide thumbnails from overwhelming the layout.",
l was able to display all thumbnail pictures with correct aspect ratio as shown here:

In the Pangolin version it seems to be no such parameter and most thumbnail pictures (except portrait formats) are stretched horizontally as shown here:

In Pangolin the thumbnail picture is not left justified either...

I'll look into it for next update. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Thats nice Matthew :-)
For all other things, I am very happy with Pangolin.
I think it was easy to convert from Okapi to Pangolin as well :-)

Hi,
I looked into it, and looking at it remembered why there's no slider for this. In redesigning the layout, I've limited the thumbnail to 40% the width of the box, so the max-width is built in. Sounds like this perhaps isn't working for you, though?

And the reason you're seeing stretched thumbnails is because your boxes are just way shorter than they should be. Because your thumbnails are square, they are considered as "landscape", and so the meant to be constrained by their width. Your images, though, are being squashed by the limited height of the boxes. So I'll look into this and hopefully solve it in one way or another, but the immediate fix for you in the meantime is to increase the height of your boxes.

Hi again,
I have resized the box height and the square thumbnails displays as they should.
However I prefer to stay with the Okapi album set until you have improved the Pangolin set.
I think my biggest problem with the Pangolin set is at mobile devices (at least at my mobile with 1920x1080 screen).
The album sets are way too high for my usage, with both thumbnail and text stacked in center of the box.
In Okapi both desktop and mobile displays the boxes and thumbnails in a similar way, with of course 2 and 1 columns.

Hi Matthew
I am very satisfied with the new Pangolin version at my desktop. It looks similar to the Okapi version.
When shrinking the width of the window the aspect ratio is disregarded according to: "Release Aspect Ratio... Under this breakpoint, album aspect ratio is disregarded." value.
However I do not understand why my cell phone disregards it as well when its screen is 1080px wide...

Your cell phone might have 1080px, but I promise you it's not behaving as such. This article is old, but explains things adequately enough:
