Custom Home Page

Well, i'm sort of working around the fixed cols issue, now the home page has 2 cols like the rest (not ideal)...but now there are some other minor (CSS related?) issues?

* the two column images are offset vertically by a couple pixels. Have no idea why.
* How can I remove the <a> underline style from the images (which I linked to galleries)? I again applied border-style: none to them, but that didn't work.

Thx

If you want your home page to have a different number of columns than the 'Basic' page type would ordinarily have, then perhaps the best way to achieve this would be to manually edit the page itself (though any modifications would be lost if you updated the page through the Showkase interface).
Open the page in a plain text editor and change:

<section class="content columns-2">

... to:

<section class="content columns-1">

Set border-style: none; on the link, e.g.:

<a href="http://www.example.com/" style="border-style: none;"><img src="image.jpg" width="200" height="100" alt="image" /></a>

The gap between your gallery and your footer is the body text for the page (which in your case is empty).
You can remove this gap in all Juicebox galleries within the Kosel theme by using the following code in your 'showkase/_themes/kosel/css/custom.css' page:

.type-juicebox section.page-body {
    display: none;
}

The text editor tends to enclose custom code in <p> tags.
Try editing your page and, in source input mode, change the <p> tags to <div> tags to see if this makes a difference.

The CSS you added to your 'custom.css' file has certainly taken effect and makes a noticeable difference when I now view your galleries. The gap between the bottom of the gallery and the footer has been significantly reduced.

If you want to reduce the gaps to the left and right of the gallery, you can go to 'Site -> Customize Theme -> Site Layout' and increase the 'Max site width (px)' value. Please note that this is a site-wide setting.

Showkase displays a Juicebox gallery so that the entire gallery is visible in the user's browser window, no matter what it's height.
Also, your gallery uses the default imageScaleMode ('SCALE_DOWN') so images are scaled to fit within the gallery's image area without cropping.
Unless your images have a similar aspect ratio to the gallery's image area (which is dynamic depending on the shape of the user's browser window), there may be gaps to the left and right (or top and bottom) of your images.
In your case, there will be more space to the left and right of your images in a browser window of limited height (try reducing the height of your browser window to see this effect).
The only ways to fill the image area more would be to either:
(1) Set imageScaleMode="FILL" (though this will crop images to fill the image area rather than scale them to fit).
... or:
(2) Increase the height of your gallery by going to 'Site -> Customize Theme -> Gallery Pages' and increasing the 'External fit px' value (though this will mean that users will have to scroll down to see your entire gallery).
