Feedback
* Just a quick thank you for the software though, It's not often you get a free software version of this quality and style! Well done and please continue this amazing gallery. Hope to see more advances.
* Another programmes have incredible functionality but no fantastic interface like your product!
* Just bought the business version of Visual Light Box and I just had to write and say how impressed I am with it. Really easy to use, intuitive interface and generates a truly professional presentation. Seldom have I been so pleased with a software purchase. Thank you. * I have just bought this product and think it is great. As it is extremely easy to use it is something I could get my clients to purchase to upload their own portfolio and latest projects etc.
* I downloaded your trial version to see if I could get it to work with my website, and I am almost there (I have been looking for something like this for ages)..
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;}
