Topic: Captions are hard to read

Guys,

I tried to setup some nice font style for <caption> tags, however none of style and color is really useful and most of captions are hard to read. Do you have any knowledge how to make captions readable? Such as setup background color for font, or something similar?

I tried background color for font style, as shown below, however it does NOT work  :/

<caption><![CDATA[ <font color="#000000" size="52" style="background-color:#7f0000;">text here</font>]]></caption>

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Mark~

See FAQ #8 for supported tags when adding HTML formatting to PostcardViewer captions.

...which means it is impossible to do background font color, correct?  :o

Yes, that is correct. However, PostcardViewer Pro does come with modifiable source code so with Adobe Flash and knowledge of ActionScript, you may be able to publish a new SWF file that functions as you desire.
