Is there anyway to turn off the initial thumbnail and use my own icon for the gallery?

Hi RavenManiac,
did you find an answer to your question?
I was thinking the same…
I thought of exporting as HTML5, try to figure if there was something I could erase from the code, and then insert it as HTML markup… no luck for me.
I tryed to erase some parts of the HTML code but that horrible thumbnail always remains… I really don’t know a thing about HTML coding, so that could be my problem 
, and maybe someone knows how to do it.

Unfortunately, I did not find an answer. Perhaps some more experienced Exhibeo users can chime in.

If you open the xbexport package (right/control click and choose Show Package Contents) then you can switch the thumb for any image you like. Note it will need the same dimensions or aspect unless you also change the CSS. Once you’ve done that, reimport it into the Action and it’s job done

Hi Joe,
I did what you said and no luck. But it was my mistake, I didn’t make myself clear.
The thumbnail that I really want to change/erase is the one that “triggers” the ehxibeo “effect”.
Because it really outstands from the website layout… looks kind of unprofessional.

Can you help me with that?

Yes, that’s what I want to change too, only I want to use an icon as the image.

Ok, I’m a little confused. What exactly do you want to do:
- Change the appearance of the thumbnail (i.e. remove the stack, borders, shadows), or
- Change the actual thumbnail image itself, so it’s not the same as the image that appears when you click on it?

hi Joe,
what I would want to change is the way the initial thumbnail appears.
Originally it seems a pile of images, which, compared with the layout of my site, stands out too much. In the above link, you can see that the html box with the ehxibeo action on it turns out to be a pile of images (inside the red square/circle)
I really like the way it “opens” when pressed, no problem with that. When the action is triggered and it opens, everything is okay. My problem is the way the html box appears before being pressed… it really loks like a pile of images.
Are you getting a little less confused Joe?
I’m sorry for my english but I can’t make myself “clearer”…

thanks.
Ok, so you can change the border size and shadows in Exhibeo. Once you’re happy with them, export for Freeway and do the following:
- Open the package like before
- Open the focus-styles.css file (in Resources) in a text editor and remove the following lines:
.image-focus.group .thumb:before,
.image-focus-stack {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background: lightgrey;
-webkit-transform: translateY(-0px) rotate(-4deg);
-moz-transform: translateY(-0px) rotate(-4deg);
-o-transform: translateY(-0px) rotate(-4deg);
transform: translateY(-0px) rotate(-4deg);
}
.image-focus-stack {
-webkit-transform: translateY(0px) rotate(4deg);
-moz-transform: translateY(0px) rotate(4deg);
-o-transform: translateY(0px) rotate(4deg);
transform: translateY(0px) rotate(4deg);
}
- Open the body file in a text editor
- Remove the line:
<img class="image-focus-stack" />
Now import into an Exhibeo Import Action. The preview should show it with no stack!

Would be useful to have that as a standard feature in Exhibeo, i.e turn off the stack of images or to seklect your own image.

hi Joe,
I think it will solve my problem! Thank you!
When I get home I’ll try it and then I’ll post some feedback.
But I think that’s it.
Once more, many thanks!

Yes, no doubt! That would definitely be a feature to put on the next update.
Until then, we have to use “Joe’s method”

I think there’s still many areas where Exhibeo should allow the user to customise the look of the end result, this being one of them. Looking forward to future updated!

I’m feeling plucky today, so I’m going to chime in with my two cents, then
disappear from the conversation. I think the stacked images thing looks
professional, even on the websites where FWTusers thought otherwise. I also
think the stacked images conveys the correct meaning to users of the
websites - these are a bunch of images to look at. Other than setting the
top image stack, I think the thing looks and works beautifully for the
price and function intended. People who aren’t satisfied need to be seeking
a more fully-featured higher-cost solution in my opinion.
Okay, now you all can continue.

I agree with you Ernie and I wouldn’t want to give up the standard stacked images option, but there are times when I’d like to use an alternate image that fits in better with my overall design, like a photograph icon that may be part of a set of icons.
For me, having the feature that José recommended would be very helpful.

Sure the standard stacked images option is a nice look, but like RavenManiac said, there are times when you will want to user an alternate image or icon or whatever.
I had to accomplish the same thing for a client. It’s possible to do if you are familiar with JavaScript and CSS, and willing to edit the source JavaScript code. Too much to go into in a post.
I wouldn’t recommend it for the average user. Either find a product that meets your needs or a freelance developer to provide you with the customization you need.

So does Exhibeo 1.1 include this feature?
