I started in December 2020 the development of my own Piwigo theme: ‘Elegant Metadata for desktop’. I used the theme ‘Elegant’ created by the Piwigo developers as a base. After playing around with the template files and adding some new coding I decided to re-start the development of the ‘Elegant Metadata for desktop’ theme from scratch and follow this time the Piwigo development guidelines more strictly. To help others I publish my experience on FotoKruse.eu.
