Hi!
I currently play with Backlight to see what is possible, where I can change things and so on. During this I found some questions where I don't have answer currently.
First where I can change the height of the footer box. I see the footer was sometimes a topic, I also change the fontsizem, add icons but the box around the footer stable. I don't find the definition, I thinks it's more in the page layout.
Second question is something about the home-page. I can add a slide show and put a album-set below of the slideshow picture. Can I change it, album set on the top and slide show below?
Third question is about the metadata. Can I change the font, size of the Metadata whcih is printed bolow the picture (normal album and slideshow pictures)?
Thanks a lot for the help

Hi Christian,
In the future, if you have unrelated questions, can you post them under their own topic names? That would greatly help for those seeking similar answers.

Use custom css and add padding-top and padding-bottom to the copyright class:
.copyright {
padding-top: 30px;
padding-bottom: 30px;
}

This one I'm not sure about. But you may be able to do this with positioning in custom css.

Custom css again. For example:
large image (photoswipe)
.pswp__caption .pswp__caption__center {
font-size: 2em;
}
large image (single-image html page)
.single_image figcaption {
font-size: 2em;
}
thumbnail metadata:
ul.metadata li {
font-size: 2em;
}

Hi rod!
Thanks for the quick answer. Next time I make separate posts.
The tip for the footer don't work at first try. I must check my settings.
For the metadata I see that the class is used, but if I change something in the custom.css, no change. Let me check it also.

make sure the page template you're using is set to use your custom.css file.
And it always helps to post links to problem pages.

So, testsite is now online (I must chage before the routing and FW)
http://www.gosslar.homedns.org:8888/
The custom.css is using, I change the footer color there and also usw a special ttg_footer_bottom.php. But the top and bottom rule for the rule .copyright has no effect. I add also the rule into all used class fro the php-script, no effect.
The php code is this (found here as a example)
function ttg_footer_bottom( $style, $path ) {
echo '
<div class="custom_footer">
<div class="content page__width">
<p class="footer_copyright">

<p class="footer_social"> bla

return false;
} // END

sorry, but your page is coming up without any styling. It's looking like the style sheets are not loading.
But I can see your custom footer.
Is this site on a traditional host? that :8888 is usually used on a local host, isn't it?

The site is running on my server here to home and I can reacht it...oh... but it's correct. The css is not loading... My fault, because the settign in backlight was not change (I start with a local sit). I change it and search for a update button... but hey, it's update automaticly.. great. I love it.

Hm, can I reduce the height? It's look like, that the current size is the minumun. With the settings in the custom.css I can increase it, but not smaller as current size.

try this, adjust margins to taste:
.footer_social, .footer_copyright {
margin-top: 0px;
marging-bottom: 0px;
}
