Thanks @Hikin' Mike - that looks pretty cool. Definitely one to try out with maybe a couple of tweaks to fit in with my sites.

@Hikin' Mike I have taken your code and adapted it for "Collage Landscape" with "Bottom Bar" for the info display.

See example here: https://www.marcquinlivan.photography/Karting/Driver-Galleries/Eimear-Carey/2018

Anybody who wishes to change the colour of the border bars can choose a colour here:

    .sm-page-widget-folders .sm-tile > a::before,
    .sm-page-widget-folders .sm-tile > a::after,
    .sm-page-widget-galleries .sm-tile > a::before,
    .sm-page-widget-galleries .sm-tile > a::after {border-color: red}
