in default_layout.css :

#theHeader {
  display: none;
}

in default_layout.css :

FORM#quickconnect {
  display: none;
}

in default_layout.css :

BODY {
    margin: 5px;
}

To set both thumbnails under the title bar and left and write of the actual picture, try in default_layout.css :

#the_page {
  position: relative;
}
* html #the_page { /* IE only */
  position: absolute; 
  left: 0;
}
#thumbPrev {
  position: absolute;
  left: 5px;
  top: 200px;
  float: none;
}
#thumbNext {
  position: absolute;
  right: 5px;
  top: 200px;
  float: none;
}

Seems to be OK with Geko, KHTML, Opera, and IE (with a special rule “* html #the_page”) We don't like this layout very mutch because when the picture is wide, the thumbnails overlap and it's not pretty.

All picture legend information have the same generation code. If you need to change some of those, you can edit picture.php. Author field for instance, near line 671, find this :

// author
if (!empty($picture['current']['author']))
{
  $infos['INFO_AUTHOR'] =
    '<a href="'.
    add_session_id(
      PHPWG_ROOT_PATH.'category.php?cat=search'.
      '&amp;search=author:'.$picture['current']['author']
      ).
    '">'.$picture['current']['author'].'</a>';
}
else
{
  $infos['INFO_AUTHOR'] = l10n('N/A');
}

You can add a class (class=“author” and manage it in defaut-color.css), or you can add style=“color: #009900; font-weight: bold;”… e.g.:

// author
if (!empty($picture['current']['author']))
{
  $infos['INFO_AUTHOR'] =
    '<a style="color: #009900; font-weight: bold;" href="'.
    add_session_id(
      PHPWG_ROOT_PATH.'category.php?cat=search'.
      '&amp;search=author:'.$picture['current']['author']
      ).
    '">'.$picture['current']['author'].'</a>';
}
else
{
  $infos['INFO_AUTHOR'] = '<span class="water">'.l10n('N/A').'</span>';
}

This is true for all metadata fields.

Tips:

• Try to add your change without add any new line (this will simplify support and MOD apply).
• Try to add a comment marker to improve finding your changes before applying a new version of PWG (i.e. /* MyPWG */ )

in include/category_default.inc.php, (line 136) replace

$template->assign_block_vars(
  'thumbnails.line.thumbnail.nb_comments',
  array('NB_COMMENTS'=>$row['nb_comments']));

by

if ($row['nb_comments'] > 0)
{
$template->assign_block_vars(
  'thumbnails.line.thumbnail.nb_comments',
  array('NB_COMMENTS'=>$row['nb_comments']));
}
