Basic Slideshow Modification Help Please

flyingpoint

I'm back to Smugmug after hanging out down the road for a while. I've got the basic framework of my site back together, but I'm struggling with the homepage slideshow. I'd love to have the left & right outer edges align with the header like the rest of the site, but can't quite figure out how. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Make sure your Gallery Settings are set to display larger photos...

Great suggestion, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. I moved to max display and nothing changed. Thanks for the suggestions though..

I am guessing that you can't enlarge the slideshow to align with the edges of your header because that will not maintain the aspect ratio of the photos. Maintaining the aspect ratio of the photos means that the slideshow could drop below the edge of the browser window and I don't think that is something that happens.

Have you considered using your slideshow as a background for your homepage instead? That will extend to the edges of the screen - but that means it will also float behind your site header.

But oh, interesting... I am using a single photo on my homepage and that comes closer to the edge of the header than your slideshow does. The photo does drop slightly below the visible window.

@flyingpoint I wonder if it is worth reaching out to SmugMug support with this issue.

Yes -- I think reaching out to Smugmug might be my best bet. But thank you for the thoughts.
