So...can you change the background color of the "built-in" slideshow on your homepage? Knowing that each picture has different dimensions, just want the entire border portion of the slideshow box...gone! I would like it to match my homepage background which is (4b4b4b). The only options given in slideshow settings is black or white.

Any help is very appreciated. I have worked this for 2 days to no avail.

Thanks soooo much,
Karen GIP

I'm VERY new, so please let me know if I left something out. You guys are great.

I have just been there.
One of these lines in the CSS customization helped me to set up the background to gray.


.box {
background-color: gray;
}

#bioBox .photo {display: none;} .box {background-color: gray;}

#userHome {
display: none;
}

body {
background-color: gray !important;
}

Thanks for your help...However, that changes the entire pages background color and I only want to

1. Set the background color of the slideshow to match your homepage design so any unused space in the slideshow matches your background color rather than shows as black.

I'm using RGB 4b4b4b gray.

Thanks,

Karen, if I understand you correctly, I am trying to do exactly the same. Is the slideshow at http://www.moonriverphotography.com/ pretty much what you'd like to replicate?
I am also new to this and if I figure it out, I will certainly share..

Add this CSS to your advanced CSS customization:

#slideshowBox {background: none;}

Also, your custom domain is set up to work in frames. This is generally a bad way to use a custom domain at Smugmug as a number of Smugmug capabilities will not work properly. See this for more info.

Thanks for your help...The CSS code didn't work. I am also embarassed to say I don't know what "custom domain set up in frames" even means....but I will check the link you gave me! I don't give up very easily and I am determined to learn this!! You guys are great!!

Where did you put the code because I don't see it active on your site right now? When I put it where it goes in a simulator, it does work. It removes the gray outline from around your homepage slideshow.

Hi John,

Yes...it has removed the white outside box around the slideshow. I want the black gone also. So that just my page background color shows. Is this possible without using the bio page for the slideshow? Also, are frames off now since I've gone with go daddy?

I'm not sure what you see. This is what I see and there's no black:

That is exactly what I want to see! I have black on both sides of every picture. How do I show you what I'm seeing?

What browser are you using? To troubleshoot, have you tried a different browser? Have you cleared your disk cache in the browser you're using?

I am using IE 8. Will work on clearing and another browser.

Great...now not working in Firefox.

Working here in Firefox, IE8 and Safari. I'd suggest maybe reinstalling Adobe Flash as that only takes about a minute so it's worth ruling it out as a cause.

Adding below might help, maybe?
