 * HI Arno,
    I really enjoy your plugin ! Thanx I jus want to make some change to
   it like align caption at center, making a white theme etc… Is there an easy way
   to it while keeping your update additions ? I just started customizing it (via
   css) but of course your update erased my modifications. Thank you for your attention.

 * Put the CSS rules in the `style.css` of your theme. And if you are using an official
   theme and not your own, then create a child theme first, so the theme will not
   be overwritten by theme updates as well.

 * Off course! Thank you!
 * I’m just missing something with my “white theme”.
    When I replace the path for
   my black svg and png “controls” images, the coordinates of arrows and icons are
   all wrong. I must have forgot something somewhere…
 * About that I didn’t understood what are the difference with the 4 different skins?
   
   Are one of theses for css customisation purposes?

 * The skins refer to the subdirectories in “lib/skins”. These contain all the same
   structure:
 *     ```
       controls.png
       controls.svg
       preloader.gif
       skin.css
       ```
   
 * The CSS class names in `skin.css` are always the same. The only difference are
   some styles which control the transparency of the header/footer and the arrows.`
   controls.png` and `controls.svg` only differ in the “share” symbol but are otherwise
   identical.
 * The other style sheet is `lib/photoswipe.css`, which is a global stylesheet used
   in every skin.
