I can not figure out how to control the width of the Galleria Slideshow on the home page. It's width is narrower than either the navigation container, mastehead, or body text. I would like it to be the same width. I have searched and experimented with a number of controls, but can not figure this out.
I have not published, just experimenting in Lightroom.
Thanks for your help

Set the Aspect Ratio for the gallery as either fixed or auto. When auto, the slideshow will fill the width of its container. When fixed, it will be whatever size you specify.

My page container is set Width Fixed 1140 px
My Galleria Slideshow is set to auto
But it does not fill the page container width. There is a lot of space on the left and right side of it. Any suggestions?
What is also confusing are the fullscreenCrop and imageCrop contols and each of their six parameters, which results in a large number of possible combinations.
One other question, is the Galleria Slideshow only limited to 3 images? I have five selected, but it only goes through the first 3 images.
Thanks for your help

are your pictures large enough to fill the space? Check the Image Rendition in Output Settings.

OK, when I turn background color on, I see to the left and right of the Galleria Slideshow the background color. How do I make the image fill the container area of the Galleria Slideshow? In the output settings, I change the image size to 1140 px and this has no effect.
Also is there any way to let the slideshow use more than three images?

put more images in your filmstrip.
Sometimes, when you change the images size, Lightroom doesn't show the change. Try clicking in the JPG Quality field and hitting enter. If that doesn't make the image size change, then try forcing it by going to the Library Module and then back to the Web Moduule

Switching between Library and Web modules did the trick.

Rod,
Along a somewhat similar thought .. I've figured out how to make my slideshow smaller, but am wondering how you have managed to get your verbiage to the right side of your slideshow?
I've tried to use the sidebar for verbiage and making it to right, but it still shows up under my slideshow. .. I've changed it back for the time being to the full slideshow but I really like how you've done yours.
Thanks!

Hi Kristen,
My main site is still CE3 and the block options in CE3 allow for it. I haven't updated the site to CE4 yet because I'm working on a design change (tired of the black background) and I haven't really come up with it yet.

Ah ha! Thanks for letting me know Rod! In the meantime, good luck with the new design ~ looking forward to seeing what you will come up with!

Me too!
Right now I'm working on a WordPress based site just for my workshops. I'll put it in a sub-domain. Haven't decided yet if I'll use the same design for the main site or not.
This design stuff takes time!
