Hi got the archive pages using the MTGrid plugin. You can to give a look to the Master Archive page :
A Look Through Lens

Now my goal would be to get the cropped thumbnails. Anybody has some suggestion?
Many thanks in advance for help

I just discovered this today, try the clip property of CSS.

Many thanks Arwind. I will try to do it and will come back for a feed-back.

Hi arwind, ops! I added an interlocutory reply, but it disappeared. Anyway thank you much for the suggets.
Frankly speaking it is too hard for me; I'm still too much unskilled in these issues, it is not so clear to me how to get the correct sintax and how to use it in the correct position within the whole code. In any case, just for your reference, you can find here below the code that I'm presently using:
CODE
<table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" align="center" style="margin-bottom:40px;">
 <MTGrid num_columns="5">
    <MTEntries lastn="150">
       <MTGridCell>
          <MTGridIfLeftColumn><tr></MTGridIfLeftColumn>
          <td valign="middle" align="center">
<a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>" title="<$MTEntryTitle$>/"><MTEntryExcerpt></a>
          </td>
          <MTGridIfRightColumn></tr></MTGridIfRightColumn>
       </MTGridCell>
    </MTEntries>
    <MTGridTrailingCells>
       <MTGridIfLeftColumn></tr></MTGridIfLeftColumn>
       <td> </td>
       <MTGridIfRightColumn></tr></MTGridIfRightColumn>
    </MTGridTrailingCells>
 </MTGrid>
</table>

If you have some further suggestion it will be much appreciated

Did you find out the solution??

I am also looking to get into the cropped/squared thumbnail types as in chromasia.com.

How did these people do it? I am sure someone has done it here too.
