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

Captions on what type of image -- Cover, PhotoGrid or individual?

See this correct answer from yesterday.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the link - lots of good information but not quite the setting I am looking for.

In a grid containing images with captions, the caption appears on hover inside a darkened band at the bottom of the image. When the image is selected, the caption appears in a darkened band at the bottom of the full screen image.

I would like to change the formatting to turn off the darkened band behind the captions. I can not find a way to control this. It's not included in the grid style options (as described here https://help.myportfolio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035920114-Photo-Grid-module)

I think the original poster is also trying to control the formatting of the caption background as well as the color of the captions themselves.

If you have an idea how to do this, I would really appreciate it. Thanks for responding to these questions!
