𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗯𝗼𝘅 — 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁, 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 Click an image in a post and Skool shows you that one image, alone. A post with six photos means closing the preview and clicking the next tile, six times over. This feature grows Skool's own preview a thumbnail strip along the bottom: every image and video of the post side by side, videos marked with a play badge, the one you are looking at highlighted. A click jumps straight to it. Images zoom now. The wheel zooms towards the pointer, so the detail you are aiming at stays under the cursor instead of drifting off screen; a double-click goes to 2.5x and back; and while you are zoomed in, dragging moves the crop around. A small control pill sits above the image with a minus, the current level and a plus — and the level itself is a button that takes you back to 100%. Dragging an unzoomed image sideways flips to the next or previous medium, the same way you would swipe through photos on a phone. Pull far enough and it changes; let go too early and the image springs back, so a stray drag never costs you your place. The same strip and the same zoom work in the extension's own gallery — the one that opens from a chat image or a group chat. Both lightboxes behave alike, so there is nothing to relearn depending on where you clicked. Advanced Lightbox is free for everyone. --- 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗯𝗼𝘅 — 𝗝𝗲𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗕𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗴𝘀 𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗻 𝗞𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘁 Klick ein Bild in einem Beitrag an, und Skool zeigt dir genau dieses eine. Bei einem Beitrag mit sechs Fotos heißt das: schließen, nächste Kachel anklicken, sechsmal. Dieses Feature gibt Skools eigener Vorschau eine Vorschaubild-Leiste am unteren Rand: alle Bilder und Videos des Beitrags nebeneinander, Videos mit Play-Plakette, das gerade gezeigte hervorgehoben. Ein Klick springt direkt dorthin. Bilder lassen sich jetzt zoomen. Das Mausrad zoomt auf den Zeiger zu — das Detail, das du anvisierst, bleibt also unter dem Cursor, statt aus dem Bild zu wandern; ein Doppelklick geht auf 2,5x und wieder zurück; und solange du herangezoomt bist, verschiebt Ziehen den Ausschnitt. Über dem Bild sitzt eine kleine Bedienpille mit Minus, aktueller Stufe und Plus — und die Stufe selbst ist der Knopf zurück auf 100 %.

𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 — 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼 Skool ships one page background, and it is the same for everyone. The Background feature replaces it with something you pick: thirteen ready-made gradients and mesh blends (Aurora, Sunset, Ocean, Midnight, Candy, Mint and more), a two-colour gradient you mix yourself with a free angle, an image you upload, or a photo that changes every single day. Four daily-photo sources are available: Bing Daily, Windows Spotlight, Wikimedia Picture of the Day and NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day. Each fetches a fresh image once a day, so the page looks different every morning without you touching a setting. Preview thumbnails load for all sources up front — including the ones you have not selected — so you see the actual picture before choosing. The feature unlocks with your level in the Skool Extensions community. Level 3 opens the Background itself along with all gradients, your own colours and your own image. The daily-photo sources follow: Bing and Spotlight at level 4, Wikimedia and NASA at level 5. Locked tiles stay visible with a grey wash and a level badge — click the badge and you land on the community leaderboard, where you can see your standing and what the next level takes. Two sliders control how the page sits on top of the image. Transparent cards sets how much of the background shows through Skool's cards and panels, and Blurred controls how soft the photo behind them gets. Both update live while you drag, and dark mode keeps its own slightly stronger opacity so the balance between the two modes survives a single slider. On photo backgrounds, readability is handled for you: the text colour is chosen by real WCAG contrast against the image rather than a rough brightness guess, and text sitting directly on the background — native header links, the pin strip footer — gets a fine outline so it stays legible over busy areas. Gradients and mesh blends are left alone; they do not need it.

𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 — 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻, 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗿 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝗰𝗮𝗺 The same recorder that sends voice and video in your DMs, comments and post window can now record your screen instead of your camera. Open the source dropdown in the recording popup and you'll find your cameras alongside two new choices: Screen records just your screen, and Screen + Camera gives you a Loom-style clip where your webcam rides along in a round bubble. Your browser's own picker asks whether to share your whole screen, a single window or a tab — no extra permission is added to the Extension. In Screen + Camera mode the webcam bubble sits in a corner of the recording, and you can drag it anywhere and resize it to frame yourself the way you like. The moment you start sharing, the big popup shrinks to a small control pill near the top of the page — Start before you record, then a red stop dot and a running timer while you record — and you can drag that pill out of the way. It never covers the screen you're capturing, and it never films itself into an infinity-mirror. The recording takes the tab or system audio from whatever you're sharing and mixes your microphone in on top as a voiceover, so you can talk over what's on screen. Pick which microphone (and, for Screen + Camera, which camera) up front, and switch either one mid-recording. If you end the share from your browser's own sharing bar, the recording stops and attaches on its own. When you're done, a Done button plays the clip back for review before anything sends — then Send ships it, or the trash icon discards it for a retake. Clips go out as WebM through Skool's native file attachment, playable right in the thread, with the same 10-minute maximum as camera video. Screen and Screen + Camera are Premium; plain camera and audio recording stay free. For non-Premium accounts the two screen rows show up greyed out with a gold crown — one click starts a free trial right from the recording popup. The whole recorder adapts to your current theme, dark or light.
