You could do it on WordPress.com, but you'd have to pony up for the custom CSS option.

Any way to get the background to flow to the edges of one's screen (without paying the extra for CSS or increasing the photo's width)?

Might be safest to wait until an official release. @roopak doesn't the theme honour the WordPress front page setting? @guzfrie sidebar.php is there now - not sure if it went missing for awhile or not, but grab a fresh copy :-) I manually resize the images myself - I've decided to do that anyway, because I'm not happy with what the PHP resize code does to the images (it really messes up the saturation, sucking much of the colour out - see <a href="http://www.darcynorman.net/2008/05/07/on-wordpress-image-resizing/">this post</a> for more). And my EXIF display is a TOTAL hack. I tried implementing Matt's code, but it looks like the new image uploader actually creates a separate post for the upload, so the EXIF isn't directly associated with the post itself. I had to hardcode a reference to <code>($post->ID) + 1</code> but that's not reliable. I'm hoping the documentation gets fleshed out a bit so I can implement it the right way...

I use Monotone for my gallery, but with some problems: 1) I couldn't find sidebar.php in the download repository, but my blog is running well as I commented out such a code that calls sidebar.php. Do I still need sidebar.php? 2) I have to change image size manually (i.e. with Photoshop) to get images which fit to the layout width. Is there any code that does it automatically as in WP.com? 3) I want to display photo's metadata on my blog, like yours. I tried by copying the code Matt pointed out, but I don't know how to use it. Could you help me please. Thank you Hi, D’Arcy.
