I am using the ACM slideshow module in style-3. I would like the slideshow to be set to autoplay but find the orange loading line very distracting. Is there a way to turn it off but keep autoplay enabled?

Also, I have noticed that the height of the slideshow changes depending on how much text I put in the text box. Is there a way to fix the height so this does not happen? My first slide has a lot of text but my other ones will not have as much yet I would like the height to remain the same throughout all of the slides.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi @linnea,

Thanks for the info, please open file root_folder/templates/uber/css/custom.css (if you don’t have this file, just create a new one) then add this code :

.acm-slideshow .transition-timer-carousel-progress-bar {
display: none;
}
@media (min-width: 1024px) {
#acm-slideshow-pro .carousel-inner > .item {
min-height: 506px;
}
}

One final quick question. In order to optimize my images for this slideshow, should they be 1024px by 506px in size? I’d like to make sure that every part of the image is included in the slideshow and that the images are not unnecessarily large or small.

Hi @linnea,

Actually as you’re using full width mode, the image will be scaled to fit the slideshow width / height, so the recommended size is whatever but larger than 506px height and 1024px width (the best value should be around 1600px).
