# Border for slideshow?

 * I would like to implement a border around the slides in the slideshow. I’ve tried
   several suggestions found around the internet, but with no success. Is there 
   a way to achieve such a border? Site: [http://lakeoswegoumc.org/activities/youth/](http://lakeoswegoumc.org/activities/youth/)
   
   Please note the first slideshow on page has borders added to each slide, it’s
   the second slideshow I’d like to have the borders added to. Global is fine, too.

 * [@jay](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jay/) Plesset – You appear to be using
   the Flash Slideshow option which does not really lend itself very well to putting
   a border around the images via the usual methods of custom CSS.
 * If the border is really “needed” I would recommend switching to the non-Flash
   version and then you should be able to use custom CSS to add borders to the images
   much more easily.
 * You are also welcome to share your thoughts and ideas on an additional option
   to the Flash slideshow that creates a border effect as a Feature Request here:

   but also keep in mind we may be considering dropping support for the Flash Slideshow
   in the future as well.
 * Thanks!

 * PS: Another option is to add borders to your images before uploading like you
   appear to have done in the first slideshow.

 * [@jay](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jay/) Plesset, I see the borders in
   both the slideshows, the only difference is that in the second one it’s thinner.
   
   Some thoughts: It appears that you are using a plugin, WP Image Borders, e.g.
   in the thumbnails page I see two borders on images, one of NextGEN by default
   and maybe one from the plugin (the effect is not very nice, IMO), so you should
   first search in that plugin why they are different in slideshow view (if the 
   plugin can handle flash objects…)
 * Anyway, those borders aren’t responsive (regardless of the fact that the flash
   slideshow isn’t responsive too), you can see by yourself resizing the screen (
   right and bottom borders disappear), so sooner or later you will need to look
   for another solution to avoid that ugly effect:
    – with CSS, using jquery slideshow(
   borders, + width / height at 98% for responsiveness) – give up borders if you
   want to use the flash slideshow, or – use some media queries to remove borders
   in responsive view
