    Thanks, Armin. I found that the best approach to make it work was: Set the vertical alignment of the text slides to "Top." Select "Fixed Height" for the carousel. Set the height to 60vh. Align the carousel to the bottom of the row in the grid layout.

    Hii! No worries. I congratulate you to taking your time! Thank you for having another look at it. For now it's fine if it can read text. Maybe this is a good idea for future improvements! :) Ganz liebe Grüsse Sirkka

    for me this is way easier: insert the following line into the custom CSS field: @import url('/wp-content/themes/mylay/additionalstyles.css'); Then you can save a css file named additionalstyles.css in the themes-folder /mylay/…, and this file you can open with for example Transmit (FTP-Client) & Sublime text (Editor), save, and in 2 seconds its done. then clean the browser cache and reload your website.

    same thing with you wanting the X close icon to be an "All" text. you meant the X "deselect" icon of the tagfilter of the thumbnailgrid? but i thought you meant the X close icon of the project overlay!

    not sure! maybe put audio element inside the page html <audio style="display:none;" preload="auto" src="http://localhost:10020/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/mixkit-fast-double-click-on-mouse-275.wav"></audio> Enter this html in "lay options" -> "custom css & html" -> "custom html at bottom" https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/audio most browsers and mobile devices only play sounds once you have interacted/tapped on the website at least once

    no its not possible using cursor css its a restriction by browsers you might be able to find a javascript way to move a html element along your mouse you can try to google it or use chatgpt its a combination of js, css and html that can make this possible, but its a little hard to do without coding experience

    if you want a next / prev link, you can also just have a text link that you can put in your footer as described here: https://laytheme.com/documentation/navigation-between-projects.html#next-project-link you can even use the projects titles in these links: Any text inside this "Next Project Link" can contain the text: $nextprojecttitle$. This will be replaced with the next project title. Any text inside the "Previous Project Link" can contain the text: $previousprojecttitle$. This will be replaced with the previous project title.
