Caption color in a lightbox

Am I to understand correctly that you cannot change the default color of the caption in a lightbox gallery? It seems inexplicable to me that the default would be small gray type on a gray bar. Only half of my captions are readable.

Can someone please confirm this? Thank you!

Edit only by custom CSS. This is the selector (In this example red text and blue background):

<style>
.w-lightbox-caption {
    position: absolute;
    right: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    left: 0;
    padding: .5em 1em;
    /* background color */
    background: blue;
    text-align: left;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
    white-space: nowrap;
    overflow: hidden;
    /* text color */
    color: red;
}
</style>

-or- if you want to override only the text-color and background:

<style>
    .w-lightbox-caption {
  
        /* background color */
        background: blue;

        /* text color */
        color: red;
    }
</style>

copy–>paste => before head

Thank you for that info! I’m a little unclear though on where I am supposed to paste this code. I’m fairly new to Webflow and I’m still trying to get my bearings. I want to make the type white on the caption (the background is fine), so I’m guessing it would be… ??

.w-lightbox-caption { /* text color */ color: white; }
  • Under page setting → Before head (for a specific page)
  • Or globally (all site) under site setting => custom code

Important - you will see the effect only in the live url (Not in the editor/designer mode).
