Border for slideshow?

@jay Plesset – You appear to be using the Flash Slideshow option which does not really lend itself very well to putting a border around the images via the usual methods of custom CSS.

If the border is really “needed” I would recommend switching to the non-Flash version and then you should be able to use custom CSS to add borders to the images much more easily.

You are also welcome to share your thoughts and ideas on an additional option to the Flash slideshow that creates a border effect as a Feature Request here: https://www.nextgen-gallery.com/feature-voting/ … but also keep in mind we may be considering dropping support for the Flash Slideshow in the future as well.

Thanks!

PS: Another option is to add borders to your images before uploading like you appear to have done in the first slideshow.

@jay Plesset, I see the borders in both the slideshows, the only difference is that in the second one it’s thinner.
Some thoughts:
It appears that you are using a plugin, WP Image Borders, e.g. in the thumbnails page I see two borders on images, one of NextGEN by default and maybe one from the plugin (the effect is not very nice, IMO), so you should first search in that plugin why they are different in slideshow view (if the plugin can handle flash objects…)

Anyway, those borders aren’t responsive (regardless of the fact that the flash slideshow isn’t responsive too), you can see by yourself resizing the screen (right and bottom borders disappear), so sooner or later you will need to look for another solution to avoid that ugly effect:
– with CSS, using jquery slideshow (borders, + width / height at 98% for responsiveness)
– give up borders if you want to use the flash slideshow, or
– use some media queries to remove borders in responsive view
