never mind … sorted thanks

yes I can (did) style the date,author & edit separately

.edit-link {
   font-size: 35px;
}
.byline {
   font-size: 25px;
}
.author vcard {
   font-size: 20px;
}
.posted-on {
   font-size: 40px;
}

how do I define a class for the tags & category?
Only way I can see is to apply the code to entire footer section of the post which then overrides the above

your snapshot does show the date (july 20,2013) and author (LexiconDevil) but I can’t see how nth-child can be used when tag numbers are so varied?

forget it.found a lot better,easier to use and free slider

I can’t remember the exact numbers but it was significantly bigger.for arguments sake & example:

default content width is 600px* generating 3 columns of 200px wide images
I changed my content width to 960px hoping it would generate 4 columns of the same 200px wide images
It generated 3 columns of 300px wide images

yes I also accounted for white space around images in my calculations the above is a rough example.

point is it was significantly larger increase in content width and Im feeling the image sizes are generated as a % of the content width rather than a fixed pixel width.
If this % could be edited somewhere it would allow a more horizontal gallery to be generated to fully utilise full width themes whereas it’s currently a more vertical alignment which suits thinner themes and the use of sidebars

yep not interested in using the thumbnail gallery at all it looks dated and positively antique and doesn’t fit in well with the site front page

Using the “square tiles” option presents me with a 5 column layout of smaller images.
This isn’t ideal given all my photos are in 16:9 ratio portrait and landscape hence needing to use mosaic which preserves aspect ratio.

automatically calculates the number of columns and size of the images based on your theme’s content width,

Adjusting content width merely increases individual image sizes in the mosaic gallery.There should be an option or way to edit the code so limits the size of the images generated.
For a full width page template having a thin column of images down the centre of the post instead of filling all the horizontal space available defeats the purpose of full page

I read that information already about theme width & image sizes when I was making the gallery full width.

What it did was instead of using the original image size before changing the width it now uses a larger size image so still keeps the 3 column layout.

If the images were still displayed at the original size before I changed the width there would be enough room for a 4th column which I was under the impression it would generate not change the size of images displayed.

Is there a way to limit then size of thumbnails in effect to force it to generate 4 columns?

and even with an all portrait gallery I still get 3 columns
