Change the background while using Lightbox

With CSS you can change the lightbox background color (if you need a hint for this, please post an URL), but change the color of the page, lightbox or not, it’s a question not much related to Nextgen support.

Nope, that is not what i asked for.

If a picture is shown in a lightbox, the page can be still seen in the background, but it’s going a bit darker.

This is what i wanted to change, not the website or lightbox background itself.

@pixel24 – As @tizz suggested we would definitely need more to go on (such as a link to one of your galleries with the Lightbox Effects active) so we could possibly make any suggestions.

Thanks!

Hi,

i think this is nothing theme related, but the settings/styles of the lightbox feature.
Once an image is shown in lightbox, the webpage in the back is getting a transparent overlay. This is what i want to get a bit darker.

The site is not yet ready, will publish the link once it’s done.

@pixel24, *It’s not the page below to become darker*, it’s the lightbox background that can be more or less dark, or any color you want, even yellow, green or blue.
So, if you can’t publish the page, try it yourself with Firebug, it’s very easy.
The CSS selector change in relation to the chosen lightbox effect, e.g., if you have shutter on, the code will be:
div#shShutter {background-color: #000;}
But I believe that black it’s the default color (at least for shutter, I’m not going to check now for the others) and of course the lightbox effect color depends also from the color of the page below, so if you want a darker color, and you don’t want to change you page color, you have to change lightbox opacity, e.g., if it’s 0.8 change to 0.9 or 1, that’s total black, no transparency.
