I am rebuilding my website in Backlight 2 using the Pangolin modules. Instead of using the Lightroom Publish feature I am (re)building my albums directly in Backlight 2. All is good (besides a few font issues) except:
1. In displaying each photograph in slideshow mode there is a black bar across the top of the screen with a number of white icons in it. I want this bar to be white with back icons. How do I do that?
2. My caption for each photograph "{CellNumber} of {NumImages}" is not appearing.
My test website: http://charleskinghorn.com/bl2test/.

1. In the album template under photo presentation. Change colors for UI Background and Buttons and Captions
2. You might be looking at white text on a white background. Try changing the Buttons and Captions color
are you using those tokens in the thumbnails or the large image?

In the Slideshow section of Photo Presentation "Background-color" and "UI Background-color" are both white and "Buttons and Captions" is black. The color settings are giving me the white background I want for my photos in the slideshow but do not appear to affect the black bar across the top.

It should. Matt just updated Fancybox, maybe some new settings got missed
could be a bug. I've reported it.

Thanks, Rod. If a bug, the problem could be that I'm doing my publishing outside of Lightroom, a process which is new in Backlight 2.

I should clarify. I can’t Get the UI bar or the buttons to change color. The caption text changes color though
The metadata should still show up, it has in my testing,
You may need to clear template cache before itappears.

Unfortunately that's not working for me.

Did you add the cell metadata tokens to the album template after you initially published the album?
If so, I think you'll need to delete the photos and re-upload them. That's what I needed to do to add metadata to the captions after initially publishing through the BL2 Publisher.
In this respect, it seems that the BL Publisher is just like the Lightroom Publisher.

Thanks, Rod. Can I simply delete the photos from my website using ftp procedures or must i do something through Backlight 2?

If you uploaded them with the Backlight Publisher, you can just delete them from the album in Backlight. If you do it with FTP, Backlight will think they are still there and will then just shout at you and call you names.
Just go to Publisher > Albums and click on the album name. You can delete the images on that page.
