Changing slimbox2.css

[go4value]

Hi,

First and foremost, thanks for the great plugin.

I tried to change the font size of the image title being displayed by WP-Slimbox2 inside the stylesheet slimbox2.css. But, the font size doesn’t change at all. Likewise, other changes made to the css file doesn’t seem to have any effect. May I know is it possible to change at all?

There’s widget on my sidebar that shows a video box. Somehow, the image displayed by WP-Slimbox2 was partitally blocked by this video box. May I know is there anything I can do to overcome this? Can I change the slimbox2.css so that the display block is being shown higher up the screen? Pls visit http://www.hoodia-weightloss.net/gallery and click on the photo to see what I mean.

Thanks in advanced!

Jon

These are very good questions, unfortunately I can’t actually answer them for you.

The slimbox2.css the plugin utilizes (aside from a few minor tweaks), and in fact the entire slimbox2.js script, were created by Christophe Beyls[/url:25lvu1b9]. You’ll need to ask him questions related to those aspects.

If I was better with css I might be able to help, but I’m not. Hopefully you can get the answers you need there. Please post what you find out here.

It doesn’t look like you’ve changed the CSS at all. Are you changing this file?

The image title section is at the bottom here:
[code:b5lzsi8r]#lbCaption {
font-weight: bold;
}
[/code:b5lzsi8r]

The problem with the flash object is a little more complicated. Flash objects normally float on top of everything unless they’re set to wmode="opaque" or wmode="transparent". See here for more technical details:

Christophe Beyls is smart and made Slimbox2 hide flash objects when the lightbox appears so normally it avoids this problem.

Your widget is tricky though because it creates an iframe and then puts the YouTube playlist inside that, so that flash object isn’t hidden properly. If you look closely you’ll see that the "Get Widget" part does disappear. That part is not inside the iframe.

The only solution is to ask the widget makers to fix their code:

or use something else to show your videos.

I’m not sure why I bother checking the forums anymore, you’re doing most of the work for me
Now I can spend more time working on the plugin, thanks.
