Changing the colour set for mobile phone etc..
I'm having a problem changing the colour set for the non desktop/laptop screen. A friend of mine with a colour sight issue told me the menu is invisible to him on his mobile, and looking at it the text is a pale blue over mid grey. Difficult to read for anyone really.
I guess this is pretty easy to achieve, just can't work it out myself.
Where, what do I need to change please.
I did the collage idea, adding a custom files album for the collage, unfortunately that album is now included in the Portugal sub-galleries.
I did mark the check box to exclude/hide from album set, but the custom files album is showing with a crossed out eye icon.
Is there another option I have missed by some chance?
I tried putting the album at a higher level but that didn't help.
Other than that I think the collage idea works quite nicely as the album title image, and I will be able to work from there. Just need to play with pages to make the thumbs a bit bigger.

Hi Rod, thanks for the reply
yeah, level 1 and 2 are album sets, so I'm thinking of a workaround using a collage with a pano in the centre for the album images.
That was something I was already planning, so I'll go ahead with that, putting the collage images in a "custom images" album, and picking up the title collages from there.
I'm going to work on that now and see how it looks.
Cheers

Hi all,
Finally bit the bullet, purchased Backlight + Pages and am trying to get galleries up and running.
My plan is to have some nested galleries and end up with something looking as good as or similar to Franz Zihlmann's site, which is found here: http://franzzihlmannphoto.com/galleries/ (hope it's OK to add to link).
My galleries would be along the lines of --
Top level, UK, NZ, PT, ES for countries to start, with maybe some other categories in time.
Level 2, England, Scotland, Wales for UK. N. Island, S. Island, for NZ. etc..
Level 3, maybe counties for UK.
Some could have all levels, say Portugal, then Geres for the National Park, Estrella for the mountain area, for level 2, then I would split Geres into a few areas such as Calcedonia, Albergaria, Traditional Villages, etc., etc., for level 3.
Where I am having difficulty is understanding how galleries are populated with photos, I was hoping to populate the level 3 gallery using Smart Album in LR, and then add a few of those images to the next level as album set, then the same for top level. I've tried this and it works as far as level 3 goes, but doesn't populate upward to level 1 & 2.
I've spent hours trying things out and am about to quit until later.
Could anyone point me in the right direction to achieving what I am after? Surely I don't need to create collections for all levels I'm after... uploading individual files for each level seems one answer.
Help please, my head is spinning and I just can't think at present, time for a break.

I would like to use backlight for my site, but am not entirely sure I match the "Requirements" with my provider Hostpapa.
I have :
Server: Localhost via UNIX socket
Server type: MySQL
Server version: 5.6.38 - MySQL Community Server (GPL)
Protocol version: 10
Server charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)
PHP version: 5.6.30
I have Apache handlers.
If the above means anything.
I've used Lightroom for creating my web galleries for years, they need updating to work for mobile etc..
Backlight seems to be the solution, I tried TTG 2016 HTML Gallery as a test, it worked well but I was doing the FTP.
Sorry to be a pest, but I don't want to buy and find I can't use, I've over 2 years left on this hosting, and I need to get my website looking a lot better.....
Thanks
Marshall
shows you why I need to get something done
