Improvement?[edit]

hi, traditional is a nice display:

  • could an option being added to have hover & overlay option with it ?
  • when a link= is set is there an option to open it in new windows ?

thanks for the good work ! ^_^

Display problem[edit]

The width of the <div class=thumb> is usually just one device pixel wider than the image it contains, which makes a vertical line appear in the colour set by this bit of CSS:

#content .gallerybox div.thumb {
  background-color: #f8f9fa;
}

I'm not sure what the use of that is. I think it's only intended to show up for transparent images, but wouldn't you want the overall page background to appear in that case? A transparent image in a gallery is likely to be a graph or an object with the background cut out, so if the background is off-white, wouldn't you use that?

To get back to why this is a problem... Although normally the line of pixels isn't that noticeable since it's very close in colour to the white page background, it does become very distracting if for some reason a custom background colour has been set on either the gallery tag itself or its parent element.

Can a caption be placed under a gallery?[edit]

Is it possible to change the position of the caption in a gallery? This page doesn't explain whether this is possible. Jarble (talk) 20:11, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can this caption be placed below the gallery?
@Jarble: Yes, using {{multiple image}}, see above. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:05, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
{{Image frame}} appears to work also:

Adjusting margins between images[edit]

Unlike {{Multiple images}}, galleries in "packed" mode leave empty spaces between the images. Is it possible to display these images in a gallery tag without spaces between them? Jarble (talk) 16:04, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently not – there's a minimum width of 60px in the code, here: [1]. I would suggest making the gallery taller to meet this minimum width. Matma Rex talk 20:36, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
