I use Colorbox for my image slideshows and it works and looks great, but often I need to add a  display of thumbnails on the page alongside additional caption information. 

Wondering if anyone has found a way to increase the caption length in Colorbox so that it can accommodate at least two lines of text, if needed.

Accepted answer

I figured the space part of it out, but caption length is still limited to about 125 characters.  -  #CboxContent: margin-bottom expands it just enough and doesn't disrupt the counter or arrows to the right. A slightly smaller font size helps as well. (I had to close and reopen the image window to see the changes made with Firefox Developer tools. )

That said, has anyone found a way to disable caption shortening or at least extend it beyond the max in the the module configuration settings?

UPDATE: Caption shortening can be disabled in the module settings, then #cboxContent margin-bottom css can be adjusted to whatever length is needed. I was experimenting using Firefox Developer Tools and it wasn't immediately showing on the open photo, so I thought it wasn't working. It does after closing the window and then reopening it.
