Anyone have suggestions for making WooCommerce product gallery not terrible?

I’ve been using Pro for probably 8 years now and keep waiting for better WooCommerce support, and still it’s super lacking. I mostly use other themes for ecommerce stores now but still end up with the odd one built on Pro. So I’m curious if anyone has successfully made the WooCommerce gallery, specifically the thumbnails, not look terrible. I’ve tried just adding css to modify the existing thumbnails, but that hasn’t worked out particularly well and still isn’t as well implemented as most other themes with good WooCommerce support. I’ve wondered if maybe I can achieve something using loopers and an ACF gallery, but I’d get stuck on making the “main image” area change depending on which thumbnail was clicked.

Any tips, previous experience, or tips are extremely welcome! I know my way around Pro well enough but am far from an expert, so I defer to the pros here. Thanks all

Hello @ckelson,

Thank you for the inquiry.

If you need the thumbnail to activate or display a specific image, try using the default sliders, then utilize the slider triggers. To learn more about this feature, please watch this short video.

Another option is to use third-party plugins such as the following.
