help please with gallery spacing etc

krashedmykarch

Greetings all, I'm having difficulty with two issues: I switched my home page to full screen show which I quite like but now the 'smug powered' and 'log in' text shows up high on that page instead of in the footer where it used to be located. I didn't intentionally touch the footer but maybe I did. How to 'untouch' that?

And, my galleries page is working properly but I can't find help pages or videos that discusses changing the horizontal margins between rows of gallery icons. The vertical margins are 1px (or so) but between the rows they are too much larger than that.
Thanks!

In your Customize settings, under the "layout" tab, do you have "Fill Height" turned ON?

I see you're using the Collage style.
1. Open up one of your galleries in your webpage.\
2. Click Customize -> Customize Site,
3. Place your mouse over the gallery images, you'll see a box outline come up and in the top left corner you'll see a little wrench. Click the wrench.
4. Select your collage style "collage landscape" or "collage portrait".
5. Select the "Spacing Between Photos".
6. Click done
7. Click done in the top right corner and then click "Publish Now".

I apologize if you're already doing this. Sometimes the spacing doesn't follow this because SM is trying to fit the photos to the screen and it gets thrown off, it seems.

spacing prob half solved
Hey Aaron, thanks so much for your usual interest and helpfulness. My first need was to get the footer info back where it belonged and selecting 'height' in layout to 'on' worked.

The spacing problem is only on the galleries 'icons' page. That is, if you click on "Galleries" the page that opens is where the horizontal spacing problem is. I want the style to be 'Thumbnails' and the setting you suggested allows for spacing but only on the vertical margins and there is no horizontal choice offered. (at least I can't find it) To make the aesthetics more pleasing to me I changed to Collage after posting my request for help which is what you saw. It's now back to Thumbnails. I changed the photo margins to 6px (from 1) but it only affects the vertical margins.

Thanks so much -you and your great site is/are really helpful.
