Description
This application takes photos in a folder and generates a photo gallery from those photos. It generates html pages (number based on photos) and resizes the images and also generates thumbnails. This is software in development, feel free to use, edit, suggest improvements. At this point I am mostly looking for feedback. Sorry, this is for the windows platform only (unless you can write the image processing code using the GD library, please let me know if you want to contribute)This is written in perl, so you will need to install Active Perl 5 [link]
Please let me know if you have any successes or failures, I really need feedback to make this thing better.
EDIT 0.2:
Fixed some minor development bugs (gallery title generation)
Some CSS improvements
Additional images for better demo
EDIT 0.3:
Improved overall look
Added easier navigation
End user does not need to edit the file to change gallery name, its a prompt now

Yes, it does generate CSS for the gallery, the end product is a html photo gallery that is automatically generated with your photos.
To be very honest, unless you want to mess around with this as a hobby... there are far more advanced (free) solutions out there now (this is 3.5 years old after all).
I would recommend starting with Picasa3 ([link] )
Let me know if I can help you in anyway!

I am not quite sure if I understand your question... this perl script generates some really basic css (file is called text.css)
If you're looking for online templates (free ones) then "Open Source Web Development" [link] is a great resource!
Does that help you at all?
