# Customizing border on Basic Slideshow?

 * I’m missing something simple, but I cannot seem to figure out the way to add 
   a custom border to my Basic Slideshow. I’ve been trying to add a CSS insert in
   the Other Options section, but I can’t get the default to change. Any help? I
   think I’m just getting the code syntax slightly incorrect. Thanks!

 * To be honest, I’ve tried cutting and pasting several CSS snippets that I’ve found.
   I don’t have a strong background in CSS, so I usually get by with trail and error.
   I can’t get anything to work.
 * Since encountering this issue last night, I now have a much bigger concern, which
   is: Nextgen doesn’t seem to be mobile compatible. It only shows the top portion
   of the photos on the page.

 * [@thirstyreader](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thirstyreader/) – There 
   are a few different items you will need to address …
 * The class to add the border to is: `.ngg-slideshow`
 * You will likely need to remove the padding that is being set by your theme: `.
   post img` … try working with `.post .ngg-slideshow img` to do that.
 * Since the slideshow appears to be added into an `<h2>` element you will need 
   to address that specifically and set a height equal to the height of the tallest
   image in the slideshow (from what I can tell 400px should work). This will not
   be mobile compatible.
