# Lightbox CSS customization

 * I would like to open images in a lightbox / fancybox / thickbox and obtain the
   same result as on the site [http://www.autre-chemin.be/fleurs-de-montagne/index.php#mini-photos](http://www.autre-chemin.be/fleurs-de-montagne/index.php#mini-photos)
   
   That is, the lightbox must have a fixed width (but responsive), larger than the
   image, and the title and a description must be displayed to the right of the 
   image and not below (at least on a computer).
 * It will certainly be necessary to work on the CSS, but is it better to start 
   from the lightbox (or fancybox or thickbox) integrated into NextGen or use an
   external plugin ? I know this is possible by using the “custom” option in Other
   options – Lightbox effects, and indicating the source.
    And above all, what would
   be the changes to be made in the CSS to achieve this result ?
 * Thank you in advance for your answers.

 * Hi [@sylvain091](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sylvain091/),
 * I am afraid that NextGen Gallery doesn’t have a lightbox effect like in the example
   that you have mentioned but the good news is that you can disable NextGen’s lightbox
   effect from “NextGen Gallery -> Other Options -> Lightbox Effects -> What lightbox
   would you like to use? : None” then install the lightbox effect needed as a separate
   WP plugin like “Auto Thickbox”.

 * Thanks for your reply, mihai-imagely.
    But the Auto Thickbox plugin is obsolete.
   The question is : what is the plugin that would achieve the desired result ?
