FAQ

Q:I would like to reposition the Previous and Next buttons to a position below the images and have them be visible all the time.Where do I have to go to make these changes in the code?

A:Find the css file in the folder generated by gallery:
engine\css\
or in the following folder:
c:\Program Files\Visual LightBox Business\templates\Default\engine\css\

To set their position you should change 15% to something different:
#prevLink:hover, #prevLink:visited:hover { background: url(../images/prevlabel.gif) left 15% no-repeat; }
#nextLink:hover, #nextLink:visited:hover { background: url(../images/nextlabel.gif) right 15% no-repeat; }

For example:
#prevLink:hover, #prevLink:visited:hover { background:url(../images/prevlabel.gif) left 75% no-repeat; }
#nextLink:hover, #nextLink:visited:hover { background: url(../images/nextlabel.gif) right 75% no-repeat;}
