Centering a lightbox

Forum,

I'm using Visual Light Box 6, RLM, CC's HTML Editor.

Using light boxes extensively in a site - everything working ok but I can't seem to center the light box thumbs. They are working fine and depending on the scene size they are centered, which makes sense but a little bit of an illusion as every time a break point crosses you can see that it isn't really centered. Using a buttom element and centering that but its within the div.

Hope it makes sense

Thanks in advance

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I don't see any thumbnails being used in your lightbox.

Maybe I'm using the wrong terms - when you open the page there are 5 pieces of furniture on that page - I was calling it thumbs as the toolbox for the software was using that term. When you click the thumb it goes to a larger picture - just as its supposed to. I have a picky client (are there any other kind?) that is wanting those centered. On the opening screen size its not centered on my monitor - my test monitors and his

It all works fine its just that one centering point.

Thanks

Perhaps.
#vlightbox1 {
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
}

Eric's solution is spot on. I was having that same issue on my visual lightbox pics. In my custom.css I made a class for . . .

.text-center {
text-align:center;
}

I didn't set the width at 100% however. It didn't seem to need that, but I could be wrong. Its been working fine without that at present. In any case, here is my test page . . .

It's only 3 photos, but they stay centered, and as you shrink the browser they stay centered throughout, all the way down to cell phone size.
