• Hello,
    I cannot find if there is the way to change a slideshow widget to a different plugin (to keep it a slideshow, not a header img). When I tried to upload the img 1500-2000 width it keeps cutting the quality to 1100×367 size. On the big screen it looks bad with such a low size (it does look ok on the smaller screens). I deactivated all the plugins that might resize or optimize images but a slider still resizes it and I cannot find where I can add a shortcode or change a widget. I could take off slider and background img and use a shortcode in section one homepage but I totally don’t have enough of the Text/Shortcode/Widget boxes there…
    Please let me know if there is the way to make this situation better.
    Thanks

    Image sizes are strictly controlled in Canuck. The Home and Blog sliders use 1100 x 367 px and that can’t be changed. As it is these image sizes are considered large and use of too many slides can slow page load considerable.

    I have a 27 inch monitor (2560px width) The 1100px images on your page do look a little fuzzy but to me they are acceptable. To allow images of this size would slow the page load to a crawl, not something I would recommend at all.

    I am looking at ways to optimize the code for the slider because the reality is page speeds for the existing 1100px x 367px images need to be improved.

    Sorry, but I won’t compound the problems by increasing the image size.

    Thank you for such a quick response. I agree that the quality is acceptable, but as you would understand.. always trying to improve haha. Page speed is acceptable so far as well that’s why I thought there was a room to improve quality on the slider (plus I need only 3 slides there).
    Thank you though for your help and for such a great theme.
