Feature Request – Font size options

Hey,
It is not a good idea to directly modify the css files of the plugin, because as you said an update will overwrite it.

What you can basically do is to modify your template css file directly (if you work with child themes) or using a CSS plugin, which lets you add custom CSS snippets.

You then can override the style of the lightbox. For instance:

#lightbox #caption {
  font-size: 20px !important;
  // Other changes...
}

#lightbox #helpDisplay {
 // etc ...
}

I don’t see a reason to add a feature to customize the CSS, especially because the lightbox.css doesn’t include a single !important statement, so overriding shouldn’t be a problem.

You can lookup on the GitHub repository on how the lightbox.css file is designed, so that you can override it: https://github.com/awesomemotive/wp-lightbox-2/blob/master/styles/lightbox.css

I understand I can add the custom CSS to my theme.

I will do that and thanks for reminding me and your example.

That will solve my update proble and thanks for your quick response.
