Some ideas for improvements

    I appreciate the effort you are putting into this. That is why I will give you my feedback ??
    I did go through many free gallery plugins last week. Buggy/abandoned/slow/unoptimized is what most of them were. And ‘lite’ versions of premium plugins don’t tell me enough to want to buy them.

    Yours is quite promising, I hope it becomes popular as you improve it.

    Offtopic, but could you maybe tell a bit more about who you are and why you are offering this plugin completely free? Do you plan to make it premium in future?

    So…
    1. In lightbox mode the ‘x’ is not visible for me.
    2. Allow using ‘Escape’ button to exit the lightbox mode
    3. Allow using ‘left’ and ‘right’ arrows to switch between photos in lightbox mode.
    4. Use smaller size images in thumbnail mode, instead of full size images. And load the full size only if user views it in lightbox mode. Right now I get 1200×1200 px image resized to 200×200. But it is still the full size image loaded, which means a lot of bandwidth.
    5.

    Regards!

    Hi it2website,

    Thank you for the positive words, which give me the power to do even more!
    Why i’m offering it for free … most common question which you already have answered: “Buggy/abandoned/slow/unoptimized is what most of them were”.

    Some time ago, I needed to make for someone a plugin like this one and told him that I go to share it with other people.
    So in this way the birth of the plugin was there ??

    I do not go to change it to a plugin with premium features, this is not the way i want to work.
    I have provided a payment link to the Red Cross, they need the money more than i do ??

    About your suggestions/questions:
    1. I will make it visible for all kind of screens.
    2. This is an option which i will provide.
    3. This one is not so easy to do, so it need time ??
    4. It will be available in the next release.
    5. … still waiting for it ??

    Regards, Danny

    Hello,

    2. Allow using ‘Escape’ button to exit the lightbox mode
    Available from version 1.1.7 on.

    3. Allow using ‘left’ and ‘right’ arrows to switch between photos in lightbox mode.
    This is a more intensive to do something, so it needs time … more time …

    Hello,

    4. is extended to: thumbnails, Medium or Full size.

    Regards, Danny

    I would like that legend “Latest news” would be not visible but if I fill this space with a blank legend appears equal.

    Hi Penalonga,

    Just enter next code in the “Latest Posts Title” with this key’s:
    press and hold on [Alt]
    press now [2] [5] and [5] (so the number 255)
    release the [Alt] button.
    Now you see that it will move 1 charter.

    Save this title and it will be not showing.

    Hi Penalonga,
    I will add the possibility to show the Latest Post grids/tiles without title.

    Busy with point 3 … …

    This requires a total rewrite of the JQuery for the light box, because it needs all the grids/tiles from the showed Gallery.
    It needs quite some time to finish this one ??

    Point 3 is solved in the latest version.
    Here you have the banner/slider option.
