Replacement / Better Slider?

    I was wondering if anyone had discovered a 3rd party slider which is better than the built-in slider in Customizr? I wish to use it to display full width images on the front page only.

    I have experimented with using different size original images, 1170×500, 1200×500, etc. I have also changed the slider size settings and the display is always inconsistent, hiding large portions of the images.

    If there is a better 3rd party option, could you explain how you disabled the built-in slider and how you implemented the replacement?

    My favourite is Slider Revolution but it will cost you a few $

    Disable the Czr Slider in Content>Front Page>Slider Options.

    But you can fix your issue without purchase if you need to.

    I apologize for having the front end of the site blocked. I have corrected that mistake.

    I appreciate your suggestion about slider revolution, I will take a look at that.

    If you can suggest something that will correct the issues I am experiencing, I would be very appreciative.

    Thanks.

    I forgot to mention, it is particularly annoying when I am viewing the site full screen on my 22″ monitors (1920×1080), using either firefox or chrome.

    I’ve downloaded the images and it appears that they are 1170×350 with a bottom 1170×150 of whitespace?

    Did you try adjusting the settings in Customise>Content>Front Page – Slider options?

    Actually, the entire image is 1170×500. The bottom of each canvas is 150px of color #fafafa, which is the background color of the site below the slider.

    I was experimenting to find a way of displaying as much of the picture as possible, even if the Customizr slider hides part of the picture. This seems to work fairly well until the screen resolution width increase above 1920.

    As for the slider options, I have tinkered with them a great deal. Which settings do you recommend be adjusted and in what fashion?

    Thanks for your time.

    You can use @media to control different viewports. Are you aware of particular breakpoints where it goes wrong? (I have a client with a Mac 27in Retina screen which I hadn’t encountered before).

    What happens if you set the slider height to 350px with the base images?

    If I set the slider height to 350, with either the 350 or 500 images, Customizr starts cutting off the pictures again. The extra 150px of blank space below the image seems to eliminate “most” of the image hiding effect below 1920. Above 1920, an unexceptionable amount of image hiding begins to occur.

    Obviously the extra 150px of space below the image can increase the distance between the slider images and the content below the slider. I have yet to determine if the amount of extra space is acceptable.

    Actually, I am not even positive having a slider at all is appropriate for the business.
