    Hi everyone,

    I'm excited to announce the release of the latest Assemblage Plus version, 0.9.14. This update focuses on improving the image slider (gallery) styling and functionality, as well as fixing various layout and interaction issues.

    Regarding the image slider, the layout of the navigation buttons that has been decided in the end is similar to the previous layout. However, this was not decided without consideration of numerous other arrangements, including ones that place the navigation arrows inside the image frame. 

    In the end, the following usability guidelines led to this arrangement:

    1. Should be touch-friendly. Therefore, navigation elements should be continuously visible, instead of appearing on the hovering of mouse pointer over the element.

    2. Should not interfere with the content. This was the main reason the button-in-frame solution was not chosen for.

    3. Should have a fixed position even if content changes after transition. In other words the button should still be under the cursor after the transition to an image of different size.

    I hope you enjoy the new style, I will soon publish the alternative CSS with controls inside the frame for those that are interested in implementing such a solution.

    changelog:

    v0.9.14

    Added option for centering or left-aligning gallery images.
    Width of project snapshots is now determined dynamically from the contained image width (i.e. text wraps if title is long).
    Various template enhancements in downloads and links display.

    v0.9.13

    Redesign of gallery style.
    Fixed various layout and style issues in both dark and light themes.
