Lightbox custom CSS changes

If you are looking to change certain elements from your lightbox and they are not available in the plugin, you can do it with custom CSS. Here are a few examples of custom changes using CSS.

To change the gallery lightbox inside an album background color, add this code in your gallery > Custom CSS, to apply the changes only to that gallery.

html body .modula-fancybox-is-open .modula-fancybox-bg { background-color: white; }

Alternatively, if you want your changes to affect all album galleries on your website, add the code in Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS.

The code can be customizable to any color you need. You can either specify the color name (for example white, blue, orange, red, etc.) or use a hex code (for example #02e0e8). To find your desired hex code, you can use online color pickers.
