Request : Alternative thumbnails.
The thumbnails in JBox could be more elegant and more functional.
I find the text underneath them ugly, from a design perspective and complex from a language perspective.
The text is a poor solution. There is no need. It should be very simple to explain to a site's visitor that there are thumbnails and to enable those to be navigated without the need for clicking and navigating pages of thumbnails. Elegant scrolling thumbnails are more easily understood by the visitor, especially in light of todays 'touch' UIs (every shipping Mac and iOS device).
What I would really like are thumbnails which are visible when the page is loaded, then auto-hide after 2 or 3 seconds. This makes it clear that there are thumbnails. They will reappear whenever the scroller is moused-over, which explains to the visitor very simple and quickly, how to navigate and how many images there are. What could be simpler?
Of course they don't have to auto-hide, but for those of us who care about images/photography it is ideal that those images should be displayed on a clean, uncluttered page.
These demo scroller thumbnails below have been produced without Flash and therefore should be a breeze for the JBox programmers to replicate. :) Here's hoping that you can make the experience of image viewing even more 'pure'. :)
