columns

Name

columns -- number of columns of thumbnails

Synopsis

    columns=3
  

Description

columns dictates how many columns of thumbnail images will be placed on each row (line) of the index pages. It is an integer value.

In general, I recommend that your pages don't require browsers wider than 640 pixels. If have the default size of thumbnails 150x150 pixels, then I'd recommend four columns or fewer. If your have smaller thumbnail sizes, more columns work well. If your have large captions, that can also factor in to it. Play around with your pages and this setting, and see what works well for you—but keep in mind that many people have smallish displays.
