What's to love?

We'll stretch your gallery to take you seamlessly from here... to there. More photos. No wasted space.

How can I see it in action?

Have a large monitor? Go here and resize your browser window. Have a smaller monitor? Take a peek at what you'd see at different sizes here.

Does it work in all viewing styles?

Only "smugmug" viewing style stretches, currently.

Do themes stretch?

Most do, some don't... yet. Themes that don't stretch will appear just as they always have.

Themes that stretch: Blue, Fuchsia, Gold, Green, Khaki, Orange, Red, Tan, Teal, White, Yellow, Black Arts, Black and White, Fresh Air, Hitched, It's A Girl!, The Graduate, Bewitched, Gradient Grey, Gradient White, SmugMug Classic, SmugMug Dashed, SmugMug Gradient, and Blue Lagoon.

Why do only some of my galleries stretch?

Check to see if you have a non-stretchy theme set for that gallery.

What if I don't want my visitors to see my photos bigger?

No worries, we still honor the "largest display size" selected in your Customize Gallery settings. We'll only show the display sizes you allow.

Good solution: Let your visitors admire larger display sizes, and protect your photos with a custom watermark.

Will the thumbnails get bigger as the page stretches?

Yes, you'll get more thumbnails on the page and if you open your window even wider, you'll see larger (up to 150 pixel) thumbnails.

I'm a power or pro user with customization. Will this affect me?

If you have any customization in your CSS box, your site has stayed the same. If you want to turn stretchy on, look for the "yes/no" toggle on your customization page (control panel -> customize tab):

In most cases, your site will stretch beautifully. You may need to make some code or art changes for things to stretch properly, or it could be as simple as choosing a different theme. Don't worry, we'll help - head on over to the Dgrin Stretchy Thread for special support.

If you have nothing in your CSS box (even if you have something in your header or footer box), your site will stretch by default.

If you've customized with a theme, and that theme stretches, great! If you chose a theme that does not stretch, you can choose a new default theme in your control panel and modify your customization for that theme. We'll help, if you need it.

Can I force the number of thumbs that display?

No. When your gallery stretches, we automatically fill the browser window with thumbnails.

I'm a power or pro, can I opt-out of stretchy?

Sure. If you'd rather your visitors not see more thumbnails on the page, for whatever reason, just go to your customization page and toggle the stretchy option to "no".

Can I still force "smugmug small" viewing style?

If you are a power or pro user, you can still force "smugmug small" viewing style in your Customize Gallery settings. Only "smugmug" viewing style will stretch.
