    hello,
    I want to use fullscreen sliders in the homepage and I use big images with text directly on the image. But on the iMac phrases are very pixelated even if I use HD images, here: http://soapmarine.com/boccamoka/ I guess when uploaded the images are crushed.
    How can I solve this and have crisp text but have it customised? In the Fullscreenslider option that I used I can only upload one image by one, I cant have one image as background and another one on it as .png image-phrase :(
    Then I used Fullwidth easy slider, I added big background image, but when I add a sliding image, it’s not stretching to the whole image, see here: http://soapmarine.com/boccamoka/test/ or when I choose “stretch”, the sliding image is distorted. And I can add only one background :(
    Appreciate your advice!

    Hey Soapmarine!

    Thank you for using the theme!

    On the Fullwidth Easy Slider, did you try to select the second option on Stretch image to fit the slideshow size? settings? The page from the link that you provided seems broken: http://soapmarine.com/boccamoka/test/

    In my opinion, I think you should try the layer slider. Separate the text graphic as PNG image.

    Hello Ismael,

    On the Fullwidth Easy Slider when I use the second option Strech image to fit slideshow size, the text graphic as PNG image is distorted completely: http://soapmarine.com/boccamoka/test-2/
    The page: http://soapmarine.com/boccamoka/test/ is not broken, it’s like that when I chose the first option Not Stretch. So page takes the size of PNG graphic I guess.

    When I use LayerSlider I got this: http://soapmarine.com/boccamoka/test-3/ :(( It’s not the fullscreen and pixelated :(((

    Can you advice, please?

    Thank you!

    Hi!

    Try using an image that has a much much larger canvas size. See how the theme example on this page uses a bigger image:
    http://kriesi.at/themes/enfold/homepage/home-v7-one-page-portfolio/
    and the images
    http://kriesi.at/themes/enfold/files/2013/06/tablet-2-1500×1500.jpg and http://kriesi.at/themes/enfold/files/2013/06/tablet-1-1500×1500.jpg

    Best regards,

    Hi Devin,
    I tried your advice but it doesnt solve my issue, the image still looks pixelated. Is there any way to have fullsize background image and overlay typography text on it? Like here:
    http://vintagehope.co.uk/
    With the background image:
    http://vintagehope.co.uk/img/girl-hero-bg.jpg and graphic text overlayed:
    http://vintagehope.co.uk/img/vintage-hope-text.png

    I just cant think it’s impossible with you such beautiful and powerful theme :)
    Thank you!

    Hi!

    You can add a Color Section element (with your background image) to your page and add Image Element (with your text image) and set to display color section element 100% height

    Cheers!

    Hi Yigit,

    I did it but it doesnt work for big screen, it works only for laptop :(
    I have used Background image as Main content and 100% Browser Height, background position Top Center: http://soapmarine.com/boccamoka/test1500/ – looks bad on iMac :(((

    What do you think?
    Thank you,

    Hey!

    Thank you for the update.

    What is the screen resolution of your iMac? Please edit the color section then give it an id or use this on Quick CSS or custom.css to adjust the background size:

    div#av_section_1 {
    background-size: 100% 100%;
    }

    Test the page again: http://soapmarine.com/boccamoka/test1500/

    Hi Ismael,
    thank you! 2560 x 1440 (standart resolution) thank you so much for the snippet! It makes stretches correctly to background :) but… it leaves me with the same problem as from the beginning – impossible to have fullscreen slider with non pixelated text :( I can have only non-pixelated text when I have a simple static background?

    Thank you!

    Hey!

    Yes, the browser scales the image based on the screen resolution and the image resolution and this can result into blurry text. I recommend to use an image without text and to place a textbox/headline element into the color section if you want a “crispy clear” text on all devices.

    Best regards,

    Hey Peter!

    thank you!
    I’m sorry, I don’t see color section possibility in the Fullscreen slider (that is what I need for the site and I’m asking from the beginning – Fullscreen slider on the Homepage with crisp “text” images on the big background images).
    What do you think, Peter?

    Thank you,
    Alfiya

    Hi!

    No, the color section is a different layout element and you can’t use it with the fullsize slider. If you want to use the fullsize slider try to upload the images without text and then use the caption field: http://www.clipular.com/c/4517275432386560.png?k=K1irCtRM5LpYNCfcsjjnoQ7DEB4

    Also make sure that the image size option is set to: “No Scaling (Original Width X Original Height)”: http://www.clipular.com/c/5676108074713088.png?k=U4hE-J4f8ArNGy6onVW3VH8m5_8

    Hi Peter,

    I’m sorry but I need to have a slider for this part, not a static page. I saw that it’s possible to have it within Revolution Slider : http://www.themepunch.com/codecanyon/revolution_wp/fullscreen.php Do you know how something about this?

    Thank you,
    Alfiya

    Hi Peter,
    I tried to use Fullscreen Rev Slider and it doesnt working as Fullscreen at all unfortunately: http://soapmarine.com/boccamoka/fullscreen/
    Is there any other solution within your beautiful theme?
    Thank you,
    Alfiya

    Hey!

    Thank you for using the update.

    Please follow Dude’s suggestion about separating the background image from the actual text. Use the fullscreen slider then add the slider image. Edit the image and place the text graphic using html tags on the Caption Text field. Something like this:

    <img src="CAPTION TEXT GRAPHIC URL HERE">
    

    Add this css snippet in order to resize the slider image:

    .avia-fullscreen-slider .avia-slideshow>ul>li {
    background-size: 100% 100%;
    }

    Cheers!

    Hi!

    Ok, I installed Slider Revolution on a test site running Enfold 2.7.

    I then configured my Slider Settings to match your image dimensions on your page: http://soapmarine.com/boccamoka/fullscreen/

    Here is how I set them:
    Title: Whatever you want
    Alias: Whatever you want
    Source Type: Gallery
    Slider Layout: Full Screen
    Min. Fullscreen Height: Left Blank
    FullScreen Align: OFF
    Force Full Width: OFF

    Full Screen Slider Checked.
    Grid Settings – Grid Width: 1490 (your image width) Grid Height: 768 (your image height). I didn’t add (px) to the end of the numbers.

    I left most settings on the right side default. I did change:
    Appearance –
    Shadow Type: No Shadow
    Show Timer Line : Hide

    Navigation –
    Navigation Type: None
    The rest as default

    I then saved my slider settings and created my slide. I used your background image of 1490 x 768 which took up the whole background area of my newly created slider, I then added your overlay text image as an image layer.

    I then wanted to put it on a page, and do so without editing a php template.. so here is what I did:

    I created new page, my settings were:
    Template: Default Template
    Layout: No Sidebar
    Title Bar Settings: Hide both
    Activate Header Transparency: Transparent Header
    Footer Settings: Don’t display the socket & footer

    After I had my page set up I loaded up the Advanced Layout Editor, I then added a “Color Section” layout element. Within that “Color Section” I added a text block. In The text block I had a choice in the top right corner for “visual” or “Text”. I chose text. I then inserted my Revolution Slider Shortcode that looked like this: [rev_slider name-of-slider-alias]

    This is probably where you got to.

    The next thing I did was view the front page, and my site looked the same as yours.. it was confined to the container.
    So Then I viewed the source code to find the body page id for the page. In your case on the page you linked to: http://soapmarine.com/boccamoka/fullscreen/ has this as it’s body class: page-id-104

    Each page in WordPress, depending on how the theme is coded will have it’s page id in the body class.. thankfully Enfold does.. which means I could then change a couple of lines of CSS based on that single page.. and get the Slider Revolution to go full screen and width.

    So, I added these lines of code. You can add them to your child theme, or to the custom.css file within enfold itself, or even to the quick css under Enfold / General. So based on your site using the link above and the body class I mentioned..

    body.page-id-104 .container {width: 100%!important; margin: 0 auto;}
    body.page-id-104 #header_main {max-width:1030px; margin: 0 auto;}
    body.page-id-104 .content {padding-top: 0px!important; padding-bottom: 0px!important; margin-top: -2px!important;}

    The first line of CSS, changes the container width to 100% instead of 1030px;
    The Second Line of CSS, makes the header go back to it’s 1030px max-width.
    The Third LIne Removes the default top and bottom padding of 50px and removes a 2px margin from one of the inner elements.

    This Should then make the slider full screen for you as long as you follow the directions above setting up the page and the slider.

    Here is a screenshot of my demo of your slider:
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21724593/Rev-Slider-Enfold.png

    Notice the menu is still centered and not full width, but the slider expands past it.
    And here is a screenshot of your demo, where I added the code via css in chrome inspector. The only problem is the slider doesn’t realize the page is resizing.. so it didn’t change to full width.. but you can see that the code should work for you once you add it and refresh the page.
