This post is outdated. The Gallery theme is now available from my theme company, UpThemes. You can download it here. Also, be sure to check out Gallery Pro, the professional version of the popular free Gallery theme.
Gallery is a beautiful showcase-style WordPress theme built on the Thematic framework as a child theme.
Widescreen Video Embedding with Simple Video Embedder Plugin
Thanks to Jason Schuller’s easy-to-implement video embedding plugin, Gallery now supports video embedding from popular video sites like YouTube and Vimeo, even allowing you to add your own custom code if not supported. This is an awesome addition to Gallery and I even created a new icon for posts with video so you can differentiate between regular posts and video posts. You will want to download Simple Video Embedder from Press75.com to take advantage of this beautiful plugin. I believe it is also available from WordPress.org, so you can install this via the WordPress admin, just search for the title and off you go.
Theme Options
The theme options page currently allows modification of the number of days a post is considered “new.” This is currently the only option, but will be expanded upon in future releases.

@Joseph Wills did you resolve your problem, if so how? I am getting a similar warning

LikeFantastic theme! However, I am running into these errors on pages when clicking a gallery thumbnail:
Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/content/87/4854187/html/wp/wp-content/themes/gallery/functions.php on line 131
and also this error:
Warning: file_get_contents(http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=http%3A%2F%2...) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/content/87/4854187/html/wp/wp-content/themes/gallery/functions.php on line 131
These may be found in previous posts but I couldnt see them. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Likecan anybody help with this? it's driving me crazy. probably something simple, but i'm a newbie...(btw, i’m using the latest version 1.2.1):
when i use sub-categories, for some unknown reason the drop down menu in the nav shows up for a split second in between pages. meaning, if i click on a thumbnail to go to a post, the drop down menu “drops down” for a second in between EVERY page change…can’t seem to get rid of it. you can see what i’m talking bout here:

LikeSimon - just to be clear the problem I'm having is because my server config has php short tags set to off and on line 35 of the functions.php the code reads which in my case makes the home link resolve to http://mysite.sbx/%3C?%20bloginfo(%27url%27);%20?%3E
Generally using php short tags is not recommended on distributed software since activating php short tags is an option not a requirement of the php.ini.

Likechris, thanks for this amazing theme.
everything works great except for these two annoying problems. wonder if you or someone can help, probably both simple fixes (and yes, i'm sing the latest version 1.2.1):
1) when i use sub-categories, for some unknown reason the drop down menu in the nav shows up for a split second in between pages. meaning, if i click on a thumbnail to go to a post, the drop down menu "drops down" for a second in between EVERY page change...can't seem to get rid of it. you can see what i'm talking bout here: http://www.sitev2.blairshapiro.com
2) when i use .htaccess to force my host into using php5 so i can use the simple video embedder i get the following error on post pages:
Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in themes/gallery/functions.php on line 131
Warning: file_get_contents(http://tinyurl.com/create.php?url=’mypermali...;) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in themes/gallery/functions.php on line 131
any help on these would be appreciated.
thanks!

LikeHi chris, I love gallery!
two questions:
1. how do I change the order of the photos on the index page. (either descending or random order)
2. how can I add more pictures to the page you get once an image is clicked on the index page. THANKS!

Like@Hans, Which version are you using?
I suspect, that if you read a few of the previous posts, you might get a solution.
IMPORTANT: Upgrading from earlier versions of Gallery requires removal of /gallery/ theme folder due to removal of page templates in prior versions of Gallery.
IMPORTANT: Gallery 1.2 only works with Thematic 0.9.5. Make sure to download and upgrade to Thematic 0.9.5 first.
Take a look at both of these:

and
http://welcome.to/supergallery
Have fun, and ask questions.

someone clever out there, who know how to make it work?

Likehi michelle.
The number of boxes in a row depends on it's dimensions. So if you have you page width of 940, divide it by the number of boxes you want to have per row. consider pixels between boxes and the 1px of the padding. If you have any other question please e mail me ole_00@hotmail.com

LikeFirst off, Chris you are wonderful to create and offer this theme for free, thank you !
I've sailed the seven seas and hiked the seven wonders of the world seeking a theme for my portfolio. The stars and the moon aligned a few nights ago and I found your 'gallery' theme. This will be my 3rd attempt at working with WP and your theme and its content is by far the most intuitive for us n00bs.
I have 2 questions:
1) I want my thumbnails to be 3 across and the same width/length as is found at the mixcss.com site.
I read that I need to make changes to the 125x125's at function.php and stylesheet.css, but damned if it just ain't workin' !?
2) When in 'full image' mode, at the lower right, where it has the <>'s, I'm confused as to how the order is determined ? Where do I gain more control of this ?
This is my first time working with posts and categories. In the past I pretty much brute forced my themes into CMS look and feel.
Can you or anyone please help ?
Thanks,
Catherine
