Custom border within slideshow

mhcooperphotography

I am about to convert my web site to the new format; however before I do it wanted to see if anyone knows how to use a custom (photo) border within the new slide show.

My current web site (mhcooperphotography.snugmug.com) uses the Jfriend HTML5 Java as well as other CSS and HTML customizations for a homepage slideshow and other customizations. I have been reading several of the forum entries and I am pretty sure I can figure out the NAV and Logo parts. I might change the NAV to a more standard Smugmug type but will have to wait to see what happens.

The reason for this post is my slideshow on the home page. I create this by using a photo (the film negative) and then put the slide show in the middle. Everything fits because I create each image with the exact same size. Does anyone know how, or have created a slideshow, that has a photo as the background and then put ... in a fixed location ... a set of photos.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Did not get any reply so I thought I would bump this up.

Anyone know if you can put a background image just on your home page?

Thanks

Not sure if this will work, but try something like this:

    /* Slideshow */
.sm-page-widget-slideshow .sm-tile-content {
    overflow: visible;
    }
.sm-page-widget-slideshow .sm-tile-single.sm-tiles-uncropped .sm-image {
    max-width: 96%;
    background-image: url('yourstatic image here');
    }    
.sm-page-widget-slideshow .sm-tile-info {
    display: none;
    }

Thanks ... Will give it a try as soon as I can start my conversion. Was very surprised that when I went to begin the process of converting, Smugmug came back with a statement (something like): We are sorry but you can not begin your conversion as we are already at capacity. Try back again on August 27th. We give it a try then ... hopefully they will have capacity then.

I guess they got caught off guard with the amount of people that wanted the new style. I'm not really sure if the code will work though.
