It is part of the core and will be available in v1.1

@Visionology:

I'll post more details reply during the day (or tomorrow if something that I didn't plan happens :) ).

Is that something that has to be manually added to the AC code and will have to be added with each new version?

I don't recall since my trial expired but when you add images using the URL popup as done above can you link the image so the client can see the version that scales in the window as shown above and click on it to see the full image or an external page, etc?


How I would ideally use the file area to show to clients is create a new file with a URL embedded image like above for each mockup. That way a client can view the project file list and see all the mockups in a list and click on each one to view them. They would see the scaled down version for sake of not breaking the site and then they could click on the image to possibly go to an external page or perhaps just open the image by iteself in a new browser full size.

Thanks

First image is before, second is after scaling. This is all done automatically without affecting the original image.

We used something like this before - all it does is changes width and height attributes of <img /> tag without altering the image itself.

I'll have someone cover this.

Was researching basecamp and goplan and stumbled upon it.

Using their trial interface now so I don't know exactly the ways to create a theme using sandbox, however I will be doing a lot of reading soon to get up to speed. I don't want to commit to a purchase if I am not sure it will be as flexible as I need for a designer's environment.

I would have been cool to have an option to check to either go from fixed to full by switching the CSS file but I can see where that isn't a top priority.

If you hack the default theme CSS it will (appear) broken as it wasn't designed to be full/liquid width!

Build a theme using sandbox as the base - It will take time to build your own theme but it can also be quite rewarding ;)

Slightly off-topic - Ilija, in 1.1 are admin's able to change the default aC site logo in the top left of the header? Or is this something to change manually still? (I haven't kept updated on this topic since aC 1.0.4)

Visionology:
So the default theme can't be altered?

I'd have to go and create an entirely new theme?


Basically true. Creating a new theme is not starting from scratch - you get a fully functional layout from sandbox theme.

You can try to hack default theme, but it was never intended for it to go flex width so there is a ton of things that can go wrong. Plus we are constantnly working on it and you would need to reapply changes you made whenever you upgrade.
