Smugmug Help : Fancy Slideshows and the Thumbnail Grid

A new addition as been recently added to the
slideshow pro application - the slideshow pro external thumbnail grid
Basically, the thumbnail grid gives the ability to modify the display and functionality of the slideshows thumbnails. Features include:

- The thumnails can be displayed on the right, left, top, bottom of the slideshow
- The slideshow viewer has the ability to browse and select thumbnails. The thumbnail grid slides left to right, or top to bottom on rollover.
- The thumbnail grid can contain as many rows and columns as you wish and the thumbnails can be any size you wish.
- The thumbnail grid be any size and color - background, border, mouseover border.
- The thumbnail images can either scale and crop to fit the target dimensions, or scale proportionally for a non-uniform appearance.
- The thumbnails expand to a larger size with a pop-out effect.

The thumbnail grid works in conjunction with slideshow pro and smugmug. You can learn more about this feature reading my blog article Fancy Slideshows.

Here are some examples of slidshow pro and the thumbnail grid in action:
