[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] How to make album thumbnails larger with no border?

I really want to have a front page on my webpage that has 3 albums per row, each one with a name and a little bit description with and if people click on the image it shows imagebrowsing with more pictures and the whole text and little bit of description with each picture in a lightbox..
See I’m making a page for my designs and want to have them all on the front page but so it looks professional.. not like a schooltrip blog albums.. hence trying to make the thumbnails bigger and without border.

Can anyone please tell me if this is possible and how it’s possible?
Because I’ve tried this for couple of days now and no go!

Hi,

I’m not sure about sizing, but you can change the border in the css style sheet box in the gallery tab under style section. Look for the section that says

/* ———– Album Styles Extend ————-*/

and change the relevant image type. For thumbnails that is the following section:

.ngg-thumbnail img {
background-color:#[add hex number for your colour choice here];/*default is #ffffff */
border:1px solid #[add hex number for your colour choice here];/*default is #A9A9A9 */
margin:4px 0px 4px 5px;
padding:4px;
position:relative;
}

.ngg-album {
/*height: 130px;*/
padding: 5px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
border: 1px solid #[add hex number for your colour choice here];/*default is #cccccc – is the border around album*/
overflow:hidden;
}

You can change the thumbnails size from plugin options, under Thumbnails tab. After saving your new dimensions there, you have to go to Manage Gallery page, check all of the galleries you have and re-generate their thumbnails.

I’m bumping this because I am trying to get rid of borders completely and it’s driving me crazy. I trieds changing the CSS as mentioned above: no effect. I even changed EVERY mention of “border” in the style sheet to “border: 0” (still no effect) and then to “border:none” (still no effect)

I’m going crazy. How can it be so hard simply to select “no borders”. Can anyone ocntact the author to get him to put an option in?

maybe you should write 0px instead?

I tried 0px too. It still has the thick border.
I changed “padding” to 0px too, but that didn’t help either.

I think there could be something nested away in another style sheet which is over-riding this one, but I know nothing about the back-end of wordpress.

Are you using a theme style sheet or a plug in for gallery functionality (eg highslide) – they can conflict with ngg.

Suggest you download firebug for the firefox browser. That lets you identify a specific element on the screen and it shows you the code and source file. YOu can try changing colour codes in there too without altering the source code to work out what is causing the issue….

Thanks for the advice! Firebug is very cool. I tried altering a few things and it seems to be ok now.
