Is there a way to create a text link to start the slide show.

The icon for the slide show is too small for some, not web savy to find.
So in G2 I had linked the word Slideshow out to the actual start of the slide show.

G3 is not so easy as it is java script to start and the following created an error.

<a href="Javascript:PicLensLite.start ({maxScale:0,feedUrl:'/gallery3/rss/feed/gallery/album/50'});"> SLIDESHOW</a>

Using grey dragon theme....

thanks in advance

Slide show Icon fix.
This is for Greydragon

Chose not to use the javascript but to change the icon and add the word SLIDESHOW in front of the icon
The icon image is located in
themes - greydragon - css - colorpacks - greydragon - images
Image name - view-slideshow-b.png
I chose to keep the name and also created an over...image.

this new image is wider so you need to change the css to reflect it

I then added that css in the - >custom - css - custom.css
As well as the new image dimensions I added focus and active

/* slideshow button */

#g-slideshow-link { background-position: -103px -210px; width:123px; background: url(../images/view-slideshow-b.png) no-repeat}
#g-slideshow-link:hover #g-slideshow-link:focus #g-slideshow-link:active{ background-position: -103px -225px; width:123px; background: url(../images/view-slideshow-bover.png) no-repeat }

The over state I did not do as just the Name up there worked.
