Overlays » Overlay Icons

• Video thumbnails: If selected, a semi-transparent overlay is placed on video thumbnails, including YouTube and Vimeo videos.
• Size: The size of the video overlay, as a percentage of the thumbnail image bounds. For example, if the thumbnail image bounds are 300x200, and the size is 67%, the overlay will be 134px (200 * 0.67).
• Audio thumbnails: If selected, a semi-transparent overlay is placed on audio thumbnails.
• Size: The size of the audio overlay, as a percentage of the thumbnail image bounds. For example, if the thumbnail image bounds are 300x200, and the size is 67%, the overlay will be 134px (200 * 0.67).
• Web location thumbnails: If selected, a semi-transparent overlay is placed on web location thumbnails.
• Size: The size of the web location overlay, as a percentage of the thumbnail image bounds. For example, if the thumbnail image bounds are 300x200, and the size is 67%, the overlay will be 134px (200 * 0.67).

Overlays » Custom Overlay

• Position: The position of the small custom icon overlay on thumbnails.
• Inset: The number of pixels the custom overlay is inset from the corner of the image. Negative values place the overlay beyond the edges of the image.
• Size: The size of the custom overlay.
• Opacity: The opacity of the custom overlay.
• Add / Remove: Click Add to select an image to use as the custom icon overlay. Click Remove to remove the file. The file used can be a JPG, a PNG, or a GIF (an animated GIF will lose its animation). The image file dimensions must be square, and must be at least as large as the custom overlay size you specified above - ideally, it should be 64x64 pixels.
• File: This field displays the name of the chosen file, but cannot be directly edited. To change the custom icon overlay file, remove the existing one and add a new one.

  To use a custom overlay on thumbnails, add a custom overlay file to the project, below. Then indicate the album objects to which this custom overlay should be applied - see Image & Folder Settings.

Overlays » "New" Overlay

• Show "new" icon for X when images X in the last X days: You may choose to display a small "New" icon overlay on image thumbnails, folder thumbnails, both, or neither, for new images. For a folder, the icon is displayed if that folder contains an image (at any lower level) that meets the criterion. The "newness" of the image may be determined by the date it was added to the project or by the date on which the photo was taken. The number of days is calculated relative to the date on which the album is created.
• Use file date if no taken date: If "newness" is to be determined by the date on which a photo was taken, files that have no camera date, like videos, will not be identified as new. Selecting this option causes the skin to use the file date if there is no taken date (camera date) for the object.
• Position: The position of the "New" indicator overlay.
• Inset: The number of pixels the "New" indicator overlay is inset from the corner of the thumbnail image. Negative values place the overlay beyond the edges of the image.
• Text color: The text color for the "New" indicator that is overlayed on a thumbnail.
• Background color: The background color for the "New" indicator that is overlayed on a thumbnail.

  The text that is displayed, which defaults to NEW, is set under Text » Index Page. Its size and style can be adjusted under Fonts » Index Page. When a visitor hovers on the "New" icon, the popup tooltip shows the date on which the image was added or taken. The tooltip prefix, which defaults to Added: or Taken:, depending upon the "newness" criterion chosen, is set under Text » Index Page. The date format is taken from the jAlbum setting under Album » Settings » Advanced » General.
