Hi all
Just building on the earlier question asked by signmaster - can I ask what may be a stupid question please?
I am trying to construct a more modern looking site, using the full page width.
The only way I can get to use the 'fill browser width' function is by placing the item in the pasteboard background, but I am not able to place a slideshow that shows in this area.
Am I missing something or is what I am trying to do not possible in Xara?
Thanks for any help you can give!
Regards
Neil
Drag a color onto the pasteboard but not onto the page.
In the Website Properties > Website section, remove the check from Clip to page edges. As long as an object touches part of the page it can extend off the page in any direction.
Good morning all
gwpriester - many thanks for the quick and helpful response - I have tried your suggestion and whilst useful does not quite achieve the result I was looking for.
What I would like to achieve is to use a slideshow to fill the screen (no matter the resolution used), the only way I can achieve this is to place the item in the pasteboard background and use the 'fill browser width' function, but as mentioned when applied to a slideshow in the pasteboard background it does not show when published.
Also is it possible to 'freeze' the usual items at the top of a page (menu bar, logos etc) so that the remainder of the page content will scroll and appear to go underneath them?
Many thanks
You can also make your page the size of the slideshow.
And as long as the slideshow touches part of the page and you have unchecked the fit to edge option, it should work. Is this not the case?
The slideshow itself would have to be responsive.
Maybe if sketch or Acorn reads this post they will have a suggestion.
Thanks again for the response.
Using your suggestion to uncheck the fit to edge I can now make the slideshow as wide as I like, but it does not automatically stretch to fill the browser window - is that linked to making it 'responsive'? If so how to I do that?
Another thought I had was if I could use 3 pages - one for each image on the pasteboard background - is there a way to auto cycle through these pages so that it would look like a slideshow?
Many thanks
Neil

Egg Bramhill - many thanks for the link, it looks like exactly what I need, will just take me a little time to get to grips with it - cant promise that I wont be back for some more help though!
Steve.ledger - thank you also for the link, it does exactly what I want and I have it working! I also think that I need to thank you in advance for the work that Egg pointed me to.
Steve - Thanks fantastic!
(Oops, forgot the part about creating the placeholder).
I did a thought starter here http://gwpriester.com/sl-slideshow/
That looks beautiful, background changes too fast for me, it was distracting my eyes reading the text. What is the longest set time for change?Quote:

You can modify the code to alter the speed of the slide show:
Quote:
fade: 750, //Speed of Fade
duration: 4000 //Time of image display
gwpriester - fantastic, thank you! Cant wait to play around with this!
Thank Steve Ledger. He is the one who came up with the code to make this happen.
Hi all
I am loving the full screen slideshow effect and would now like to build on the idea by having another slideshow on a page, but when I add a slideshow (does not matter wich layer I use) it only shows the first slide in the series.
I know I am being greedy but is there a way of making the background cycle and having a slidshow on the page cycling?
