“Ok, you are right, I admit: it’s not infinite but can any of you guys tell me the number of possibilities it offers? 😉 Thanks!
Coffee & Cream has another killer feature: you can have a different layout for every category, every tage, every portfolio category.
It means that a portrait category could display a perfect layout with vertical pictres when a panoramic landscape pictures category could use the wide display with panoramic pictures. Nice, isn’t it?
