Layer Slider Preview NOT Full Width

Hi!

One LayerSlider user, Mike, kindly provided his solution. Please see below

To solve his screen width problem, he needs to do the following:

1. Get into Layer Slider, open a slide set and then click on Slider Settings.

2. Under ‘Layout’, look for the heading ‘Full-width slider settings’ and, under that, the item ‘Layers container’. He will see the note alongside which explains what he is experiencing. It says that this setting : “Creates an invisible inner container with the given dimension in pixels to hold and center your layers.”

This setting works in all cases – whether Full Width is selected or not.

When this slide width setting is increased or decreased, it shows more or less of the slide (horizontally) depending on the adjustment. All horizontal layer-element positions are measured from the left side of this invisible container. So as the container is widened or narrowed, all layered elements move to the left or to the right with the left wall. All he has to do is change this setting to match the width of his slider images and he will see the whole slide in its proper perspective.

In full width mode, another setting also comes into play with some unexpected effects on the presentation of the slides on a screen that is above the responsive size. That is the setting just above that one called ‘Responsive under’ . This setting’s description says “Turns on responsive mode in a full-width slider under the specified value in pixels. Can only be used with full-width mode”.

I was using some really long thin slides – 1900 x 500 pixels and the end were cut off by the edge of the screen, as would be expected when maintaining a 500 pixel height. However, the more that I increase this ‘Responsive under’ setting in Full Screen mode, the more of the slides’ hidden sides come into view, narrowing the height in proportion until the whole slide is in view at a 1900 pixel setting and the slide height has narrowed to about 453 pixels. This obviously affects the placement of the animated layers on the screen as well.

Your customer also complains about the lack of documentation. With the purchased version, I received some documentation in which the vendor, Kreatura Media says under ‘Using the Slider Builder’ : “Always read the tooltips messages. Due to space efficiency we’re using tooltips for describing what each options exactly does. Just place your mouse cursor over an option and a tooltip message will appear with additional information.”

Cheers!
