  1. Hi David,
    Thanks for your question. We will write a blog post as soon as we find out the best solution to do this.

  2. I am also very interested in replacing the fotorama ribbon with a grid that shows ALL thumbnails (at least for the desktop site). I’ve been scouring the web and can’t seem to find any info on how to do this!

  3. Hi Gopala
    Such an interesting question, thank you!
    We need some time to dive into the topic and find an answer. We will share our experience in one of our blog posts. Subscribe to stay tuned :)

  4. Any input on how do I remove the slider and just show the product images one by one. Also I need to have the zoom functionality intact. Suggestions?

  5. thanks, exactly what I needed! too many thumbnails breaks the layout for mobile so need to change to dots. this makes it clear what to do.
