Border around large photos

Is there any "safe" way to add a border to large photos in the galleries? Without a border, I find the images look rather flat and would like to spiff them up a bit with at least a single-line border. I was doing that in my custom stylesheet, but was told that this was not a safe thing to do in Backlight. Any suggestions that would work to improve appearance without stepping on the feet of Backlight?

Re: Border around large photos

Hi Mike,

I'm still using the css you originally posted about without any problems. Take a look at any of the albums on my test site.

There's already 12px of padding built in on the Photoswipe images so that's why the images looked "framed"

Re: Border around large photos

I was previously using the same approach but Matt seemed very opposed to using custom stylesheets to override default behavor. Not sure why but he left me with the distinct impression that this could cause problems with Backlight down the road.

Re: Border around large photos

Not so much Backlight as the Photoswipe presentation. So far it hasn't caused me any problems and I really like the look. I'll keep it until something blows up.

Well, I think I may do the same.
