captions on hover masonry?

Yes – it would be great if each layout had an option to display/hide the image title/caption. ??

You could do that using CSS as in below not sure how you would link this to gallery though. Not looked at the layout if already has a way to display the title then you would need to modify the CSS for the title to make it hover

This is my CSS. It works on a single linked image, but not on the galleries. Even if i put it inside the gallery’s custom CSS it does nothing.

.wp-caption {
  display: block;
  max-width: 96%;
  padding: 3px;
  position: relative;
  text-align: center;
}
.wp-caption-text {
  background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);
  top: -5px;
  color: #FFFFFF;
  display: block;
  filter: alpha(opacity=0);
  font-family: Open Sans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
  font-size: 13px;
  left: 8px;
  margin: 0;
  max-width: 100%;
  opacity: 0;
  padding: 5px 10px !important;
  position: absolute;
  right: 8px;
}
.wp-caption a:hover ~ .wp-caption-text {
  filter: alpha(opacity=100);
  opacity: 1;
  -webkit-transition: opacity 500ms ease-in-out;
  -moz-transition: opacity 500ms ease-in-out;
  -ms-transition: opacity 500ms ease-in-out;
  -o-transition: opacity 500ms ease-in-out;
  transition: opacity 500ms ease-in-out;
}

Yes – I’ve been customising the CSS, but just thought it would be good to have this flexibility out of the box.

I changed my mind though – there are UX concerns with hover text on touch devices (foo seems as good as it could be), so I’ve gone with the Simple Portfolio template, targeting these elements –

.bf-item.bf-loaded {}
.bf-item.bf-loaded:hover {}
.foogallery-simple_portfolio .bf-item > h4 {}
.foogallery-simple_portfolio .bf-item > p {}
