remove lightbox X
can you remove the X in the upper corner of the slide? I would like to add my own button to close the lightbox.
Also, can you add a trigger to toggle the CC off and on when in lightbox mode? ...
Hi, Katelin,
You can add your own button to close a lightbox, but you can't remove the default X button.
- You could use layers instead, and set them up so they look like lightboxes. However, those wouldn't cover the entire Player like a lightbox does, so any player-level items would still be accessible.
Yes, you can turn CC off and on in lightbox mode. Just create your own button with a trigger to toggle the caption variable:
Thanks, sigh, it is stupid that you can't remove the button IMO. It limits some things you could do with lightbox slides.
Yes, you're not the only one who'd like the option to remove the default close-lightbox X. That's why some folks use a layer that looks like a lightbox.
Another option to to jump to a slide (not lightboxed) that doesn't show the usual Player features. On a given slide, you can't turn off the Title in the Player (if you have one), but you can hide the Prev and Next buttons, the Menu, etc. Of course, that slide wouldn't have the other slide "underneath" it like a lightbox would. But you would have more control about what the user has to do before they can "close" the slide and return to the starting point.
I can see so many options if they would allow you to remove that button. It can't be that hard to add as a feature. Thanks for your help.
Supposedly, this is on the fix list, but until then...
