vB4 + PPPro Integrated Styling Issues

The more I go through the more I find. I realize some of the things I can change with integrated styling are limited, since they will also affect the forum. And they seem to affect the control panel, as well. That should be completely separate, IMHO. So I guess I'm sneaking in a suggestion while I'm at it.

I found a way to alter some things to my liking. I added or changed the assigned id/class in their respective template to something not in use, then added that new selector to the additional.css template in the forum.

Not sure how far I can go with that without affecting more things than I may realize. In any case, here's the current fix-it dossier:

Problem #1. Per the three examples attached, the thumbnail filmstrip extends beyond the desired width of the showphoto page. The first shows the filmstrip in action, which continues the page being too wide through the Photo Details section (2), then wraps up back where it's supposed to when it's comment time (3). I've been through the showphoto and thumb-film templates, but changing the table widths doesn't seem to help. Unless I wasn't targeting the right ones, of course, or there's something else entirely I should be checking for.

Problem #2 My Photo Options menu is terrible. Per the attached example, I didn't even know there were supposed to be options there until I hovered. Some don't have text at all, just icons. Where and what can I customize to change these without affecting forum popups?

Problem #3 Not so much of a problem per se as a desired change. The gallery posts/comments are formatted with postbit legacy (the old layout) of vBulletin. I'm using the new layout, which places the user info at the top of posts rather than to the side. How can I make the gallery match?

Problem #4 Again, not so much of a problem as a desired change. The breadcrumb icon for the forum displays at the Gallery without any accompanying text and it links back to the forum. If I were to set it to display none, no breadcrumb at the forum either. What I would ideally like is a matching breadcrumb in the same style for the gallery, instead of the current gallery breadcrumb, which looks like another category. However, if that isn't doable, I'd settle for eliminating the forum breadcrumb from the gallery without eliminating it from the forum.

I think that's all I've got for now. LOL! Appreciate the help.
