Customize Lightbox-plugin arrows

[mariusjopen]

Hi Louis,

possible but not really easy and probably not a clean solution.

Can you make a screenshot of your page and mark the are which you want with another cursor?

Best!

@mariusjopen I'm looking for the same solution as Louis.
Is there a way you guys can show us how?
I'm also looking for a way to adjust the coordinates of the "X" icon for Lightbox.
Will there be any indication when you guys are going to apply these options?

Cheers,

Dustin

Hi you two,

this might be a way to use the arrows also outside:

.cursor-left {
    cursor: url("yourimageurl") 9 9, pointer !important;
}

.cursor-right {
    cursor: url("yourimageurl") 9 9, pointer !important;
}

If you look here, the class is changing depending on the position of the cursor.
So you can address it with the Custom CSS:

About the X in the lightbox
I just made a small test and you can hide the div which contains the X with Custom CSS and then put a new div box in to the <head> section and give it the same class like the X box had.
Of course that new box needs to be positioned fixed etc.

Let me know if you face trouble.

Best!

Hey Marius,

Thanks, it works!

I dont know how to work with div's and do all the wizardry.
I only need the "X" to have the same top-right position as the the last letter of my menu bar.
I would also like to know how I could change it to "Close". (if I wanted to.)

And where can I change the maximum image size of the LightBox and have it perfectly centred?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Dustin

Hi Dustin,

I really recommend you to learn the basic of CSS and HTML.

What you need is super basic

You want to make this course for free, try again and let me know if you still got trouble?
https://www.codecademy.com/learn/web

Today it is really helpful to know at least the basics of coding.

You can position elements like this:

.element {
   position: fixed;
   top: 20px;
   left: 20px;
}

position fixed makes them not scrollable.

All very very basic CSS :-)

You can do it :-)

Hi guys,

I know this topic already appeared quite often and I read your suggestions how to change the lightbox arrows. I tried it with CSS but it didn't work out. Could you please give me a hint, what I did wrong?

I placed this CSS code in Customize CSS:

#lightbox-region #lightbox-inner.cursor-left img {cursor: url("http://tihanavuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/cursor_left2.png") 9 9, pointer !important;
}

#lightbox-region #lightbox-inner.cursor-right img {cursor: url("http://tihanavuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/cursor_right2.png") 9 9, pointer !important;
}

Thank you!
Olga

Dear @Olga-V
there are no custom cursors for the lightbox. Just arrows for next and prev.

Best!

Hi @mariusjopen,

sorry, I really CAN'T find the setting option!
I can see it in the carousel addon though, but not in lightbox.

Here’s a screenshot from my interface.

Best,

Dear @Olga-V
oh! My bad! Then you need to use CUSTOM CSS to do this :-)

Best!

@mariusjopen

Yeah, well I already tried that code:

#lightbox-region #lightbox-inner.cursor-left img {cursor: url("http://tihanavuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/cursor_left2.png") 9 9, pointer !important;
}

#lightbox-region #lightbox-inner.cursor-right img {cursor: url("http://tihanavuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/cursor_right2.png") 9 9, pointer !important;
}

I don't know why I didn't work. Is sth. wrong with it?

Thanks,
O.
