I’ve been using Coppermine about 3 months now. While it has some shortcomings I’m mostly pleased with it. There are hundreds of templates available for Coppermine, but most of them seem to be written for young men. I needed something a bit cleaner, brighter and that would blend in with my blogs.
Then I ran across and excellent tutorial by Gizmo about Converting a Wordpress theme to a Coppermine theme. A couple of hours later I had a Cutline theme for Coppermine. Several more hours later I had worked out the bugs and polished it a bit.
You can see it On my personal blog photo section.
Read the readme file first and customize the theme for your website. Then just upload it to your Coppermine/themes directory. Go into your admin menu and to themes and change the theme.

Thanks for the template hack. I downloaded, unzipped the file. The instructions were so easy to follow, I had the template installed in less than 20 minutes. It looks great on my website.

Thanks for this; and a warning for others who may have changedtheir Coppermine installation with the Modpack by Stramm: you must add a few lines to the theme.php file in your download to make it work. Otherwise, you get “Template error Failed to find block ‘my_friends’ …”

Better details (because there are many other changes needed in order for it to work with the ModPack by Stramm):
