Title: [Closed]: How do I make filmstrip border narrower?

After searching, I found out how to remove the edge of the filmstrip by deleting the lines with tile1 & tile2, but how do I alter the size of the black border above & below the filmstrip images.

Thanks.

P.S. Review your signature, it says "Upgraded to 1.4.26 and learning slowly", but you're currently using cpg1.5.3 RC, so your signature is outdated
P.P.S. Upgrade - you're running cpg1.5.3 RC, while the most recent stable release currently is cpg1.5.6. I think you already have been told about the need to upgrade before

Updated signature to explain current situation.

Thanks for reply, but I still cannot see what sets the size of the black border above & below filmstrip. I have modified things like px settings in my working gallery in the past, but this has me beat. Sorry for my lack of understanding.

Please confirm: are you using the web developer toolbar (http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/dev_tools.htm#dev_tools_web_developer) by Chris Pederick for FF and are you using the tool as suggested in the section Web Developer Toolbar usage (http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/theme_style_css.htm#theme_style_css_tools_webdev)? If yes: did you notice that the padding for the class thumbnails will interfere as well as the definition for div#film?

I use a plain-text editor.

This is obviously a more complex modification than I thought. I was hoping it would be just an edit to a "padding" setting and reducing the px figure would make the border narrower.

Anyway, I will update my test gallery to 1.5.6 which means the original link may not show the filmstrip, which I will probably remove, but I will try and attach a couple of images to show how it looked and how I wanted it to look.

Thanks anyway.

The answer is in my posting above; you failed to directly reply to it:

If no: why not? I told you to use that tool. Just install it, use it as I suggested, then you can savely disable or remove it once more. If you're not ready to use that tool I have already told you what style sheet definitions are responsible, so you just need to edit them.

I use a plain-text editor.
That's invalid. I use a plain text editor as well, as all other devs do.

Nonsense. When upgrading your custom theme will be preserved if you did as suggested in Rename your theme first (http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/theme_create.htm#theme_create_rename). However, you have changed your default theme to use the classic_vstrip theme, so the issue no longer applies. Marking thread as "closed". Why do your threads always leave a bad taste in my mouth? :(
