You might’ve missed it, but Turtle skin can be used to sell your photos or products too. To use this option you need to hold a Pro license or a Power storage account with jAlbum. Although the payment is routed through Paypal or Google Checkout, your customers don’t need to be signed up with these payment processors, they can simply use their credit card as well. Here’s how you can create an album with a shopping cart, and how the visitors see the process.
Creating the album
First collect the photos (of the products) you want to sell, and create a new album in the jAlbum application.
- Add the photos by the Add button or by dragging them onto jAlbum
- Choose Turtle skin
- Add an image to be used as “Theme image” on the index page. Right-click → Use as folder thumbnail, and Right-click → Exclude
- Switch to Edit mode (Pencil icon) and add captions to your items with the details of the product (you can use HTML code too in the captions)
If you are a web designer, like me, you possibly often find your self wondering how your newly-designed webpage would look on different screen sizes. This lead me to make this practical screen background, by which testing the different screen resolutions is a snap: just adjust the browser size to the background grid.
Well, using a low resolution monitor might not optimal, but I assume once you’re a web designer you don’t struggle with a 1024×768 monitor. To tell the truth, my best investment was a second monitor recently. Now I don’t have to juggle with the hidden windows, just put the editor left, the test to the right, and no more switching after every step.
The image is 1920x1200px in size, which makes fit best for 1920×1080 or 1600×1200 monitors. If you have a bigger one, I can make it fit to that resolution.
Usage
Just click the download button above to open the PNG file in a new window, then right-click -> Save image as... Finally once it’s donwloaded right-click the file and choose Set as desktop background.

Here are 16 of my pictures. You can use them for free both for personal and commercial purposes. I hope you will like them.
Enjoy!

AddSwipe plugin
With this plugin you can add swipe action to a layer, and render actions for the left and right swipe move gesture. Works with mouse and touchscreen uniformly. You can also set it up to snap to grid, e.g. window width or a fraction of the width.
Syntax
$(layer).addSwipe( leftFn, rightFn, { options } );
Categories
AddScroll plugin
This plugin will add a vertical scrollbar to a layer which has content deeper than its container parent. It will watch if the window has resized, and adjusts itself. The content can be scrolled on devices with touch interface too.
Syntax
$(layer).addScroll({ options });
Categories
AddHint plugin
With this plugin you can display tooltips on hovering an element. You are not limited to simple texts. You can use HTML formatting even in the title attribute. Or you can generate the content by javascript and pass to the plugin. The content can be aligned to the target’s any edge, and will make sure the popup not goes off-screen.
The popup will not go away as long as you hover the mouse over it, or an input element inside has focus. Will also take care of the touch devices, where no mouse leave event exists, and will fade the popup automatically after 3 seconds (configurable).
Syntax
$(layer).addHint(content, { options });
Categories
AlignTo plugin
This plugin does nothing else but – as you might have guessed – aligns an absolutely positioned layer relative to another. You can choose which corner of the layer to align to the target’s which corner. As easy as can.
Syntax
$(layer).alignTo(target, { options });
Making localized version of a skin is pretty easy in jAlbum. First make sure you are using the language: Tools -> Preferences -> Language and if using the latest skin version (http://jalbum.net/skins/).
jAlbum has its own translation tool since version 8.11. Just fire up Tools -> Translator -> Translate selected skin if no translation exists yet, or Update translation otherwise.

Add music to site
This little tool for jAlbum will help you adding music to any of your albums made with jAlbum. Download the attached zip file and extract to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\jAlbum\Tools directory on PC, Applications /jAlbum/[Right-click: Show package contents]/Java/Tools folder on Mac.
The tool is using Jeroen Wijering‘s excellent MP3 flash player. See the original site here. Please read the legal and licencing issues before using it.
Before you add music you might want to compress it to make fit for web use. A reasonable compomise between bandwidth and quality is around 92kbs/Joint Stereo. You can use iTunes or some other free encoder (from here).
