Image encoder

The Quick Gallery references all the images used in the layout (including background images in CSS and the buttons/links in LyteBox) as images provided by index.php. These images are stored in an array where the image data is stored as base64 encoded.

If you want to add your own images, you will need to create the graphics, encode the date as base64 and then add it into the array or replace an existing image in the array. Of course you could reference images from elsewhere on your server... but that's not very neat... is it? :)

You can use this tool to encode your images and it will give you the image as it should be entered into the array. This tool must be run from your webserver (as it is a PHP file) and you must upload the image before it is converted into base64.

Gallery Icons

These icons area already included in the gallery file. But as you may have noticed they are encoded. If you want to edit them (change colours etc) then download this pack, recreate the images, and use the tool above to rencode them.
