Hallo,

is it possible to lock the largecontrol arrows to a fixed position so they do not move on the stage when the imagesize
varies? I hope I can achieve this without having to extend all images with background colored space...

I would argue that this is not necessary because the button itself covers the entire area from where the image ends to the screen edge. The visitor can click anywhere they want in this area, and this is visualized by the arrow appearing, which aligns to the image for consistency.

If you actually had to click on the arrow icon itself to navigate, then I would agree, but the visitor can click anywhere and the arrow is just a visual cue.

Regarding the large controls arrows, I have the margin of the thumbnails set so that the thumbnails go widely to the sides but then the arrows go off stage, how can I set the arrows closer inwards closer to the thumbnails? I have tried all the settings regarding the large controls

Any example of this? I checked your gallery at http://portfolio.grimur.net/ - Nice customizations to the interface! No access to thumbnails though ...

I checked your link through PM, and see the problem. However, you have set 15px margin on the left and right side of the thumbnails, and how do you expect to display a 50px width arrow in that area? The arrow will display in the margin area naturally, and this area can only accommodate 15px, so right now it is displaying 15px of your arrows while the rest is cut off.

Either increase your margins a little bit, or decrease the size of the arrow (or a combination of both)

OK, thanks for pointing that out for me. I'll do that :-)
