  I have modified the standard wordpress slideshow on my site using css to remove the black background and change the control buttons completely. You can see what I’ve done here: http://annascherman.com/made-in-birmingham/

  I would love it if I could add an image counter with the custom buttons. For example, something that says “Image x of y” and changes as you click through the images. Is that possible to set up using only CSS/html?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  This is just a note to say, that you do not need to tag any threads in the CSS Forum with modlook as Staff provide support for CSS editing.

  well, you probably could do it with HTML, however you’re unable to make changes to HTML, only CSS (and even then only with a premium account)

  Hi there.

  You could do something with css…more or less like adding captions saying ‘1 of 5’… In this case, you should adapt them if you change/add/remove your pics. (So maybe it would be better to use just a caption)

  But if you would like to add something like an script to ‘detect’ how many pics you have and which position is the pic you’re showing to automatically compose the caption, I’m afraid this is not possible using just css.

  Hope this helps. :)
