    I have a MaxiGallery system on a page that has a specific background color.

    How do you change the background color around the edges of the thumbnails that maxiGallery produces? RIght now the thumbs have the drop shadow but the color behind the drop shadow is white. This white looks bad against the background color I am using on the container page.

    I am looking at all the CSS files that come with MaxiGallery but I don’t see anything?

    Thanks!

      I think it might be a MaxiGallery parameter issue?

      I tried using this call but it not matching the background color of the thumbs to the page color?
      [!MaxiGallery? &display=`embedded` &embedtype=`slimbox` &pics_per_row=`3` &max_thumb_size=`110` &max_pic_size=`0` &thumb_use_dropshadow=`1`&thumb_mask_bgcolor=`d3d2b6` !]

        OK, I think have solved this issue. It was driving me crazy...

        I messed around with changing the snippet calls but no luck. In the end I thought about it and tried deleting the existing images from the system. I then modified my call, saved the page, and then uploaded the images again. This reintroduction of the images connects the generated thumbnails to the snippet call parameters A fresh start if you will.

        My call looks like this:
        [!MaxiGallery? &display=`embedded` &embedtype=`slimbox` &pics_per_row=`3` &max_thumb_size=`110` &max_pic_size=`0` &thumb_use_dropshadow=`1` &thumb_mask_bgcolor=`D3D2B6` &thumb_shadow_bgcolor=`D3D2B6 !]


        This keeps the drop shadow affect but adds the hex color value behind the drop shadow and around the thumbnail. The color of which now matches my specific color of the page background...

          Yes.. &thumb_shadow_bgcolor is the correct parameter, you didn’t have it in the two above calls. When you change parameters that affect the pictures, you need to re-upload them. Also always try to check available parameters and their meaning from maxigallery wiki page.
