Webpage templates with graphical buttons
I like the webpage creation with the new templates. Again thanks to those who have developed the templates (Olive, ...)!
It would be cool if there were templates with graphical buttons (instead of textual button "Previous | Thumbnails | Next").

I am very very bad in creating graphical buttons. If you create them, it should be very easy (for me) to integrate them into a template.

The webtemplates provided are very good and the results look very nice. Olive has done a very good job, I think. Here's a sample webpage.
Currently, the buttons are still text buttons which is "uncool", especially if your webpages are not in English.
@Pierre: Perhaps a small task for your designer?

I don't know, perhaps not. I've just downloaded the additional WebTemplate addon and found that I had all the templates, already. 21 templates already, without the colour variations it's 7 templates:xnview wrote:Do you use the template from xnview package??
_Default - Frame
_Default - Simple
Foo Silver
Simple
Visuddhi - Flash viewer
Visuddhi - Light box
Visuddhi - simple
The template "Visuddhi Lightbox" has graphical buttons and a lot of impressive animation in it.

I would like to have a lightweight, non-animated, non-flash, and non-JavaScript web template like "Simple" with graphical buttons: E.g. arrows for "Previous" and "Next", and a collection of small rectangles for "Thumbnails", for example.
Apart from the template that I currently miss I really think that the templates are very good.
Oh yes, sorry. If we use image as prev/next button, there is a problem if the user want the webpage in french...helmut wrote:I would like to have a lightweight, non-animated, non-flash, and non-JavaScript web template like "Simple" with graphical buttons: E.g. arrows for "Previous" and "Next", and a collection of small rectangles for "Thumbnails", for example.

Graphical buttons
After a longer time I allow myself to repeat my above request:
Some webpage templates still have texts "Prev", "Next", and "Thumbnails" for navigating. I think it's time to change those webpage templates to graphical buttons. Graphical buttons are easy to understand and have various other advantages over text "buttons".
Tooltips
To make the buttons even clearer, the graphical buttons might have tooltips and the tooltip texts are inserted by XnView depending on the language setting in XnView. Or even better: A special language setting for webpage creation, because you might have a German XnView but might want to generate a webpage with English texts, for example.
