Can I change WooCommerce default to Make Arrows Stay on in Lightbox?
-
Default behavior of WooCommerce lightbox arrows in which they fade out within three seconds when the mouse is not moved has proved confusing to our visitors, so we would like it changed so that they always stay on, regardless of whether the mouse is moved or not. We would like to know if there is code that can be added to our Child Theme to do so. We don’t use Storefront, but to make it clear what the problem is, you can see the behavior on this page on the Storefront demo:
https://themes.woocommerce.com/storefront/product/build-your-dslr/#camera-body
To understand what we want to change follow these steps:
1. Click the magnifier icon on the main image.
2. The lightbox overlay opens with the main image and caption, and left and right arrows on either side.
3. Move the mouse into the black area (or off the window). Count slowly to three: “One-one-thousand-two-one-thousand-three…” The arrows disappear.True, they reappear as soon as the mouse is moved. But we have found that some people find this confusing when they disappear and don’t realize what to do. It may seem very obvious to tech-savvy folks to just start moving the mouse, but apparently it is not so for some people; this is what we are hearing. I’ve gotten user complaints about it. Instead, we would like to keep the arrows on all the time.
If anyone knows what can be done about this please let me know. Please also do not mark this ticket as “Resolved” without asking if it really has been. Thank you.
