 * Hi,
 * The basic process to modifying a default theme is:
    1. Create a child theme — allows you to modify a default theme without it being
       overwritten when the plugin is updated
    2. Add custom CSS styles, layout, transitions, etc. to your child theme to override
       the default styles, etc.
 * If you can tell me where you’re running into issues I would be glad to provide
   more information.

 * Yes, I need more help. I have been able to modify captions on my homepage with
   a CSS manager plugin. The problem is I don’t know how to tell the names of the
   classes / IDs that I need to change.

 * Hi, the lightbox title’s style can be changed using the `.slb_template_tag_item_title`
   selector.
 * See the **“Style Template Tags with Specific Properties”** section in this [tutorial on customizing SLB theme styles](http://archetyped.com/know/slb-theme-styles/)
   for more information on targeting specific template tags.
