When you surf online, you often find yourself clicking on images, buttons or texts so to open a window which displays a video or image gallery. This is a way of presenting a product in a more creative way, as well as to show the beauty of a place or report different photos sharing similar subjects.
No matter what your goal is, yo can create a link to open a gallery displayed on a ShowBox window in this way:
- Open the Link window by clicking on the
button. - Select the action Gallery with ShowBox and use the available commands to create and organize the list of images and/or videos that will compose the gallery you want to present. You can use both images/videos saved locally or search for resources to import from the available Online Libraries.
- Once imported, you can select an image and click the button
to open the Accessibility window and set it as a Decorative Element or complete it with a Title and an Alternative Text (see: Accessibility of Images: The Importance of Alternative Text). - Similarly, you can also select an imported image and click the button
to insert the description that will be displayed below the image. - Once the gallery composition is defined, specify the Size of the ShowBox window.
- Possibly set the thumbnails for the gallery image by activating the Show thumbnails in the ShowBox option.
#tip - In the ShowBox window the gallery image are shown in the foreground on the main page, which is then darkened and made more opaque. If you want to, you can customize the ShowBox window style.
