Hi Eva,
Thanks for that, yes one icon is taken out now – when I switched off enable lightbox option.
I am half way there now – you know, what I want to achieve is to have the image as a link with no link icons on hover at all. Just to keep the fade effect and have the image as a link, the fade effect is cue enough for users to know it is linkable. Is there a way to do this – my client is asking for.
