This is not about any custom slideshow that I want to add. It's about the slideshow (upper right) of my galleries that smugmug has there as default. When I click on it, my images are huge and look bad because they're so big. Can I make them smaller in the slideshow? If not, can I eliminate the slideshow from the page?

Thank you

p.s. I did search for slideshow but there's tons of threads, which seem to be about custom slideshows.

This will remove it from your whole site.

.play_slideshow {display:none;}

Allen - thank you for replying. I really appreciate it.

So I assume from your answer that it is NOT possible to reduce the image size?

If not, then where do I put that stuff you gave me?

Thanks again

Sorry about that, it goes in your CSS.

I looked at trying to overide the smug_black theme code for the full screen
slideshow (fsSlideshow) but counldn't find a way. Might be one but I couldn't
get anything to apply.

Okay, it worked. It's gone now. I'm only a noob, but with all the fancy customization available on smugmug, I'm surprised that the full screen slideshow is not fixable. I can't be the only one noticing this. I must be missing something.

Anyway, thanks again for your help Al.

If you want to give the viewer the option of choosing to view the gallery as a slideshow, you can remove the Fullscreen option and just have the maximum size be Large. See this thread (http://www.dgrin.com/showpost.php?p=238279&postcount=20) for detail.

Well, thank you David. I've read through that thread twice now, and I'm afraid there's just no chance that I can understand all that. I'm not a programmer. And the amount of stuff that the average smugmug user has to know to get their site finished is unbelievable, at least from my perspective. They should publish a book, and we could start reading from page 1. As it is, it seems to me that these important threads and help pages are hidden all over the place. I really barely know where to start reading, and I'll bet there are many who feel the way I do.

But my mind is open and I keep pecking away at it.

However, for now I'm ok with having the slideshow option gone completely.


Thank you
