 * Hi Myatus,
 * I love this fantastic plugin!!! Great job.
 * I’m interested in seeing the script for the complex override. I have all your
   images, but I can’t find anything on how to do the css. I looked in the css but
   could not find it on your site or my install.
 * I’d like to do as you did with something like the paper over the oranges.
 * Thank you so much.
 * J

 * Oh, I just noticed that when I click on the [+], I get the background in the 
   post. No problem. At the top I get the following:
 * Published June 5, 2012 at 1024 × 768 in Imported Directory
 * When I click on the Imported Directory I get the following:
    This is somewhat
   embarrassing, isn’t it? page from [http://blog.xxxxxxd.com/?post_type=myatu_bgm_gallery&p=485](http://blog.xxxxxxd.com/?post_type=myatu_bgm_gallery&p=485)

 * Hi,
    I noticed the last style in the complex override above the </head> in the
   source code had the following for the image set. So, I placed it in the css for
   the image set. It worked like a champ:
 * body{background-color:#f9deaa;}#page{box-shadow:5px 5px 5px #333;background-size:
   100% auto;background-image:url(‘[http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6135/6030107724_05bfedb44c_z.jpg&#8217](http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6135/6030107724_05bfedb44c_z.jpg&#8217););}.
   entry-content{text-align:justify;text-shadow:#fff 0 1px 0;color:#000;font-weight:
   bold;}.entry-content{text-align:justify;}#access{background:#943100;background:-
   moz-linear-gradient(#DC7A00,#943100);background:-o-linear-gradient(#DC7A00,#943100);
   background:-webkit-gradient(linear,0% 0%,0% 100%,from(#DC7A00),to(#943100));background:-
   webkit-linear-gradient(#DC7A00,#943100);}#access li:hover>a,#access a:focus{background:#
   db9300;}#site-generator{background:#E1B867;border-top:1px solid #E89421;}
 * Great plugin!!!

 * Hi!
 * I see you’ve found the details of the complex override 🙂 When I get the time,
   I’ll add some more samples – with the code.
 * As for the clicking through `[ + ]` and then the gallery title, I wish there 
   was an elegant way of dealing with that actually, but seems to be a limitation
   of WordPress itself. The Image Set itself is “hidden” from public view, to prevent
   it from showing up in search results and archive listings as for many, that’s
   undesirable.

 * Hi,
 * On the complex override, when I make the background (paper) area translucent,
   it is not see-through on the Firefox browser. It just becomes a lighter opaque
   shade?
 * Funny, I forgot how to set the complex override. LOL
    I looked everywhere, then
   remembered the bread crumbs I left here. Anyway, now I have a readme-complex-
   override.txt on my computer.
 * Here’s the method:
    login to admin click on appearance click on background click
   on image sets at the top 4th line down to right of settings click on the image
   set you are using for a post scrolldown to custom stylesheet at bottom ADD THE
   FOLLOWING:
 * body{
    background-color:#f9deaa;} #page{box-shadow:5px 5px 5px #333;background-
   size:100% auto;background-image:url(‘[http://www.xxx.com/11/2012/xxx.png&#8217](http://www.xxx.com/11/2012/xxx.png&#8217););}.
   entry-content{text-align:justify;text-shadow:#fff 0 1px 0;color:#000;font-weight:
   bold;} .entry-content{text-align:justify;} #access{background:#943100; background:-
   moz-linear-gradient(#000000,#cccccc); background:-o-linear-gradient(#DC7A00,#
   943100); background:-webkit-gradient(linear,0% 0%,0% 100%,from(#DC7A00),to(#943100));
   background:-webkit-linear-gradient(#DC7A00,#943100);} #access li:hover>a,#access
   a:focus{background:#cccccc;} #site-generator{background-image:url(‘[http://www.xxx.com/11/2012/remax2.png&#8217](http://www.xxx.com/11/2012/remax2.png&#8217););
   border-top:1px solid #cccccc;}
