Hi
I've tweaked just about every setting in the templates and seen expected effects but can't find / or have missed the control for text size for filenames *under* thumbnails.
To illustrate: my standard filename format of YYYY-MM-DD-PICSET-NNN-FRAME-NN.jpg is being truncated as in this sample album of old slides from 1971:

All I need to do is make this text smaller so the standard name fits each time (or un bold it as that might help)
Many thanks for tips.

Hi Ed,
Currently, you'll need to use custom css to make the text smaller. For example:
ul.metadata li {
font-size: .75em;

Many thanks Rod for advice - maybe I should invest in an interactive css editor? - I would only need it for element tweaking so does not need to be overblown. Is there any people would recommend for editing a backlight site on Mac OS X - and sorry for really novice question: but which files should I edit and/or leave well alone - local or on the site live via Transmit?

I don't know of any "interactive" CSS editors. I just use the browser's inspector to find selectors and to experiment.

With Backlight, using custom CSS is pretty easy

For editing Code on a Mac, TextWrangler is supposed to be good. And it's free.

I have CSSedit.app on my Mac, but I hardly use it. Most of the time, I use Chrome's Developer Tools and set the CSS until I think I got it right. This works well for small changes.
