    Hello,

    I’m using a fullscreen slider for my homepage, and I uploaded images with a size of 1903×714, hoping they would cover most of the screen as you enter the site (fitting from the bottom of the header to the bottom of the browser window, before the user scrolls).
    I am using the plugin ‘Simple Image Sizes’ to manage the available sizes of images for my site, but none of the sizes I create shows up in Fullscreen Slider’s options, under ‘Slideshow Image Size’, so I ended up choosing ‘No Scaling (Original Width X Original Height)’.

    Now my problem is that my images only seem to fit properly on the native resolution of the laptop I’m working with (which is 1366×768), and when I open the site on a 1920×1080 (FullHD) screen, it is scaling the images on my slider to have a height of 800px, and not showing their ‘full width’, and thus there are bits of text on my images getting cut/hidden.

    What I would like is for my images to show in their original proportion for every resolution, even if they don’t fit so well in terms of height, I’d really like to avoid having parts of my images ending up ‘hidden’.

    Ok so in the meantime I have been fiddling a bit more with the sliders and I think I’m realizing that I was getting the fullscreen slider’s correct behaviour, and I either have to give some ‘safe margins’ to the text in my images so it won’t get cut, or use the fullwidth easy slider instead, which will always keep my images’ proportion but won’t always fit so nicely on the screen, depending on resolution.

    For now I’ll be using the fullwidth easy slider , at least until we can get new images done for it.

    Hi Rikard,

    I think I can say I got this problem fixed, as I believe it was all just a misunderstanding on my part, of the difference between the behavior of the Fullscreen Slider and the Fullwidth Easy Slider.

    But just to make sure I have now understood correctly, on the Fullscreen Slider the images are always ‘scaled’ so they cover the whole screen in the browser (minus the header), and in some resolutions that forces them to not fit in their entirety (having part of its sides overflowing/hidden), right?

    Other than that minor doubt, I think you can mark this issue as resolved.

    Best regards!

    Hi,

    Yes that is correct, the styling is set to cover the containing area in order to always keep it full width. Please let us know if you should need any further help on the topic.

    Best regards,
    Rikard
