Jquery PrettyPhoto - How to always show Next Previous buttons?

Hi I am using Jquery PrettyPhoto and want to always show the Next and Prev Buttons on the pop up slide, instead of the user having to hover over it. I think it should be done by changing the css, but I cannot figure out which part to change to always show the buttons.

      <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
        $(document).ready(function(){
            $("area[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto();

            $(".gallery:first a[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto({animation_speed:'slow',theme:'light_squarex',slideshow:3000, autoplay_slideshow: false});
            $(".gallery:gt(0) a[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto({animation_speed:'slow',slideshow:10000, hideflash: true});



            $("#custom_content a[rel^='prettyPhoto']:first").prettyPhoto({
                custom_markup: '<div id="map_canvas" style="width:260px; height:265px"></div>',
                changepicturecallback: function(){ initialize(); }
            });

            $("#custom_content a[rel^='prettyPhoto']:last").prettyPhoto({
                custom_markup: '<div id="bsap_1259344" class="bsarocks bsap_d49a0984d0f377271ccbf01a33f2b6d6"></div><div id="bsap_1237859" class="bsarocks bsap_d49a0984d0f377271ccbf01a33f2b6d6" style="height:260px"></div><div id="bsap_1251710" class="bsarocks bsap_d49a0984d0f377271ccbf01a33f2b6d6"></div>',
                changepicturecallback: function(){ _bsap.exec(); }
            });

        });
        </script>

try this, the normal gallery link to the image will have something like the following:

<a href="assets/img/portfolio/work8.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto">

change it to read:

<a href="assets/img/portfolio/work8.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[gallery]">

The rel="prettyphoto[gallery]" wil ensure that all images with that [ ] will be grouped, thus displaying the next and back by default.

Without it it will only bring up the lightbox with the one image.
