Client Proof Page Suggestions

THOnline

I am creating galleries for clients to view and select proofs. I understand the Event function (or at least I'm learning it).
But I am coming to find that there are no good gallery layouts that are conducive to client proofing. The best would be something that looks like the photos do when viewed in the Organize interface but with bigger thumbnails. This may be one of the times I've figured out there isn't a good solution but I am going to ask anyway if anyone has a good idea or found something that works well. "Thumbnails" would be good if you could actually have non-square thumbs and the collage options look cool for portfolio but are too crowded and varied for proofing.

Bonus question- can you have a second gallery style? My over all site design is set up to make my portfolios look good but the body is too skinny (it should have infinite horizontal stretch for proofing, not a max width) and the background is too busy for proofing. Would love if I have one design template for portfolio and one for client proofing.

You could assign a different them to your client proofing pages and design that second theme to meet your needs for those pages.

From the help page at http://legacyhelp.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/93314:

Your homepage and each category, subcategory and gallery page will show your All Pages theme unless you've selected a different theme from the menu on that page.

You can see an example of this on Ron Lutz' site - http://www.ronlutzii-photographer.com/. His Wedding page uses a different theme than the rest of the site. (For contact in dgrin, that site belongs to Darter02.)
