Juicebox Support Forum → Juicebox-Pro Support → Thumbnails over main image?
I was about to buy the Pro version as this gallery seemed like a perfect fit for my needs, but then I realized I can't display thumbs over main image. Why this option is not available? Now when the thumbs pop up or go down the image resizes too and it makes the viewing experiense clumsy. Please add this feature, or is it not possible to add?
I'm just a user of Juicebox Pro, and not an expert. Although I put my thumbnails below the image in my gallery, having the thumbs above the gallery is possible. On the configuration page ( http://www.juicebox.net/support/config_options/ ), see the thumbnail options: http://www.juicebox.net/support/config_ … il-options . One choice is thumbsPosition=TOP.
However, if the viewer chooses to turn the thumbnail display off or on (assuming you allow this, in a given gallery), the main image will resize, anyway, i.e., regardless of where the thumbs are. (This assumes that the image has room to resize, e.g., it not already taking up all the available width, for instance, of the viewing window.)
Personally, I don't see the image resizing in these circumstances to be an issue -- in fact, I like it. I think that most viewers will tend to leave the thumbs in one state, either visible or not visible. So the images will be in one state. What I like is that if a viewer has the thumbs on, but wants a larger view of one or more images, she or he can simply turn off the thumb display... and the image will enlarge a bit (depending on browser real estate); this is often easier and quicker than using the option to open the full-size image in a new browser window.
Cheers,
Bill P.

Doesn't the "thumbnail position TOP" mean that the thumbnails are above the image and not over the image? On top of the page and not on the bottom of the page so to say.
I just find this current thumbnail design inferior to the "over the image" thumbnails like iPad's default photo gallery have it. I use the thumbnails regulary to jump from picture to picture fast. It feels very fluid.

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood. I was thinking you meant above the image, but you're talking about overlaying the image, i.e., sort of covering up a part of the image itself. If that's the case, I don't think you can do that, and I'll keep my mouth shut and let Steven & Co. respond.
Sorry I confused the issue.

Yes I meant overlaying the image. This is the closest I've found so far: http://galleria.io/themes/fullscreen
But that gallery doesn't seem to work that well with touch screen devices. Any suggestions to some other galleries that have this feature I'm after? Simple iPad style photo gallery is all I need.
wspollack is right. There is no way to stack the thumbnails on top of the main image (overlapping it).
The thumbnails can be positioned only using the thumbsPosition configuration option (TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT or RIGHT relative to the main image).
It would not even be possible via CSS. Juicebox would not be aware of any such modification and would expect the thumbnails to be in one of the designated thumbsPosition locations. Trying to change this manually may cause problems when the gallery is redrawn (for example when the browser window is resized).
When thumbnails are hidden (via the Thumbnail Button on the Button Bar), the main image is resized to take advantage of the extra space that has become available.
The best I can suggest is that you post this idea in the Feature Requests forum thread for potential inclusion in a future version.
