 * I’m a big fan of Robo Gallery and I’m using it to showcase my photography portfolio.
   I’d like to customize the appearance of the thumbnails on hover.  Currently, 
   the default effect is a simple opacity change.
 * Ideally, I’d like to achieve the following: On hover, I’d like a slight zoom 
   effect on the thumbnail image. Additionally, I’d like to display a small caption
   text overlay with the image title on the bottom of the thumbnail.
 * Is it possible to achieve this customization with Robo Gallery, or would I need
   to use additional code?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Thank you for your kind words about Robo Gallery! We’re thrilled to hear that
   you’re using it to showcase your photography portfolio.
 * To achieve the customization you’re looking for—adding a slight zoom effect on
   hover and displaying a small caption overlay with the image title—you can follow
   these steps:
 * 1. Go to the gallery settings and navigate to the hover effects section. You 
   can choose from a variety of hover effects available in the current version. 
   Some of these effects already include a zoom effect.
 * 2. In the hover settings section, enable the Hover Template option. This will
   allow you to customize the layout of the hover overlay elements, including adding
   captions.
 * We’re also excited to let you know that in the near future, we will be releasing
   a new version of Robo Gallery with many more hover effects, including enhanced
   customization options.
 * If you need further assistance or have additional questions, please don’t hesitate
   to reach out. We’re here to help you create the perfect gallery for your portfolio.
