Hi, am using JA SlideSow to create a bit of a slideshow on the frontpage: http://www.dart-creations.com

Th text and titles all seem garbled – and also need to set a good width and height which works well and stays responsive…

It WAS already configured in that way – still looks horrible

You can take a look again at the position, we assign this slideshow to ‘home-30’ position which is wider than the current position you’re assign it to.

The width is not large enough while the text is big and it causes the slideshow not look nice.

You will need to customize the style for this slideshow.

Just open the css file: root/templates/ja_magz (your default template)/css/custom.css – this file will keep your custom css code.

and add rule for elements of slideshow:


.maskDesc .ja-slide-desc {
color: #fff;
font-family: 'novecento_wide_bookbold',sans-serif;
font-size: 35px;
font-weight: 700;
line-height: 1.3;
text-transform: uppercase;
text-align: center;
}

.maskDesc .ja-slide-desc a span {
background: #1ea1fc;
color: #fff;
font-weight: bolder;
padding: 10px;
text-transform: uppercase;
opacity: 0.9;
filter: alpha(opacity=90);
}


and you can change the value for above property (font/color/etc…) to the value which suits your need.

In case, it doesn’t work, you can illustrate the modification you wish via screenshots, I will give further suggestion.

I put these settings in my custom.css but there was absolutely no change to the slideshow … I could play around a bit more once I get the css to apply well, but I’m not sure this is the correct css to apply?

In case it doesn’t work, you can send me screenshot illustrating how you want to customise and PM me the FTP account of your site, I will check it for you.
