Adobe Portfolio question

I looked for a Portfolio forum to post this in but could not find one. I am wondering if there is a way to syle the captions differently than the theme default. Currently the text is white on a faded gray bar over the bottom of the image but I would prefer gray text below the image with no bar.

Thanks!

It really depends on which Theme you're using. There are 12 Themes to choose from, each with their own features & options. See links below.

I am using Mercedes currently. I looked at the exmaple sites and it looks like the captions in Sawdust are not on a gray bar but when I try that theme, the captions look the same as with Mercedes (white text on gray bar). I am guessing the example site is not using the theme defaults? Do you know if there is a theme that has the captions in gray or black text without a bar behind them?

Thanks for your help! Laurie

Thank you for the reply! I do see the word “caption” being used by Adobe. I have attached a screenshot. It says “Add caption”.

The captions show up in two places. When I roll over an image in my photo grid, it pops up (screenshot attached) and then when I click on an image from the grid it shows up at the very bottom (screenshot attached). In both places it is white text on gray. This is what I am hoping to change but I dont’t see how to effect it.

I have no time to argue semantics. I'm working under a deadline today.

If you read the help article I posted yesterday, I think you'll find your answer. 🙂
