Hi Aaron, thank you for the amazing work... really appreciate all the tips and tricks provided.

Wondering if you could advise how to always show the nav arrows in ligthbox. I have been having issues with clients reviewing their photos in lightbox mode and the arrows keep disappearing (as per design) but it makes the experience rather horrid when having to keep tapping on the image for the nav arrows to appear.

Could this be done only for mobile devices? If not, globally would be great.

Thanks again.

This can be done but let me dig up the code.

Hi picomoments,
See the thread here, lamah has some code on how to do this on his site: http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=241090

Combine it with: http://www.aaronmphotography.com/Customizations/Sitewide/Screen-Width-Customizations

2013-12-29 3:04am PST: Created new section called "Font / Link Tweaks" and moved all tweaks pertaining to fonts or links to it.

Also moved 7 customizations from the "Other Customizations" page to their own page with detailed instructions:

1. Change the Color of the "Like" Button When Clicked
2. Remove the map icon / button
3. Change the Colors of the Caption Links
4. Change the Hover Color of Links in the Comments
5. Change the font of the Photo Title
6. SM Layout: Ensure the top of the photo aligns with the thumbnails
7. Define how List Items Look in the Caption

Removed these 7 from the "Other Customizations" page.

SM Layout: Ensure the top of the photo aligns with the thumbnails

Your instructions assume that the same theme is used for every smugmug style gallery. I imagine that a lot
of folks are using different themes on multiple galleries. I'd recommend only using the theme CSS for things
specifically affecting that theme and using "all galleries" for general changes. In this case the tweak has
nothing to do with a specific theme.

If I read what you wrote correctly, you're recommending that instead of adding it to the Theme's CSS ... instead add it to a CSS block on the "All Galleries" page? That would make sense.

2014-02-10 11:26am PT: Updated the "Swap the Image and Thumbnails" on SmugMug Layout code. It is now fixed!

SmugMug updated their YUI CSS Grid code (Flexbox) and it caused my customization to stop working in all browsers except Firefox. It now works again (tested in Chrome. Can someone confirm IE works?).

I used one of your galleries to verify that it works in IE11.
