Hi Boris,

try the following:

.collage-thumb a.image-link {
    pointer-events: none;
}

.collage-thumb {
    cursor: default !important;
}

in customizer -> additional CSS

Hi Boris, this the easiest solution.

the actual CSS class responsible for the lightbox pop up behavior animation-link

as you can see in /js/scripts.js, function LightBox()

function Lightbox() {

$('.image-link').magnificPopup({
  type: 'image',
mainClass: 'mfp-with-zoom',
gallery: {
  enabled:true
},
zoom: {
enabled: true,
duration: 300, 
easing: 'ease-in-out', 
opener: function(openerElement) {
return openerElement.is('img') ? openerElement : openerElement.find('img');
}
}
});

$(".image-link").mouseenter(function(e) {
TweenMax.to('#ball', 0.1,{transformOrigin: '15px 15px', borderWidth: '1px', scale: 1.8});
TweenMax.to('#ball-loader', 0.1,{borderWidth: '1px', top: 1, left: 1});
$( "#ball" ).addClass("with-icon").append( '' );
});

$(".image-link").mouseleave(function(e) {
TweenMax.to('#ball', 0.1,{borderWidth: '2px', scale:1,  x: -15, y: -15});
TweenMax.to('#ball-loader', 0.1,{borderWidth: '2px', top: 0, left: 0});
$("#ball").removeClass("with-icon");
$('#ball i').remove();
});

}//End Lightbox

Sounds good, we are working on your other ticket.

Yes, this will do.
