P: Styling the Heading and Subheading in a Lightroom's web share Display mode

Lightroom's shared web album Display mode is a nice way to send and present image galleries to clients.

 

Recently, I created a Display view for a Lightroom shared album that had baby images shot in a very soft, high-key look, and found that the plain sans-serif black typography in the divider's headings and subheadings just don't seem to be pleasingly fitting.

 

Stangely enough, though, if the text is selected in the divider, it can be italicized or bolded/unbolded using the typical shorcuts Ctrl+B/Ctrl+I, and clicking Done keeps it. However, the change is LOST upon refreshing the page. I don't know if this is supposed to be a feature that is buggy, so I thought I'd bring it up here.

 

Regardless, I have grown used to Adobe Portfolio's flexible type options and in-page styling and having no ways to customize text size/fonts/color in the Display view of a Lightroom share feels very limiting. At the very least, it would be useful to be able to italicize the header or subheader of a divider and have a choice of color other than black; even multiple shades of grey would be a start.

 

Screenshots attached.

Thanks for the screenshots, and feedback.

 

This isn't something that's supported, and from what I can tell this is only happening in Chrome, and may actually be a bug there, as I can't even tell how the styling is applied in the debugger. I'll pass this on to Chrome.

 

I'll also pass on your feedback. While we're not looking to add as much customization as Portfolio, I do think more size/spacing/styling customization options would be really useful as well.

 

Cheers,

Alex
