Feature request regarding the Lightbox Addon

[MWPA]

I have a small feature request regarding the Lightbox Addon.

Currently, in the Overlay settings, it’s possible to choose an Icon Type: Default, Custom, or Text.

I would love to see a similar option for the Lightbox Addon, allowing the use of text-based navigation instead of icons.

For example, it would be great to use text labels like “Previous”, “Next”, and “Close” instead of the graphical arrows and close icon.

If implementing text options for "Previous" and "Next" would be too complex, perhaps it could already be a great start to offer this option just for the Close icon – so we could display a simple "Close" text instead of the default icon.

Would this be something interesting to add? And if so, could you give a rough idea if and when this might be possible to integrate?

Thanks for considering this idea!

hey, well for now its probably better if you create a svg that says "close" instead of "X" and use that.

im writing down your request, but idk when i would have time for it

Thanks, Armin, I appreciate the suggestion to use an SVG for the "Close" label. That could work as a temporary solution, but it does introduce some challenges with consistency – especially in terms of sizing and alignment with the main typography, across different devices and screen sizes.

A native text option would be much more flexible and scalable. Totally understand that this might not be a priority right now, but I’m glad you’ve noted it down. Looking forward to it if it ever makes it onto the roadmap!

Thanks again!
