Popup image question

[srdjan]

Sorry if somebody already answered to this question but I would like to know if it is possible to center popup image to the page? The way it works now is that i t "grows" from thumbnail and it is centered above that thumbnail.

Regards

You are referring to the automatic slide show function?

This appears to be the way the pop up feature works. And yes it has been noted that the pop up image is centered over the thumbnail rather than in the center of the page.

The alternative (more work however) is to create a new layer for each photo. Link each thumbnail on the mouse off layer to the appropriate layer. You can either do this by linking in the Link tabbed section to the pop up layer, or in the Mouse Over tabbed section. But you can control the placement of the pop up image.

The first method opens a new pop up window and waits until you click another thumbnail or click off the image. The Mouse Over link shows the photo only when the cursor is over the thumbnail as on this page.

And there's Sledger's tweak

New popup thing is almost perfect. Why it's not 100% perfect? Why? Why? Why? :-(
Maybe some future tweak can solve this? I am keeping my fingers crossed...

Perfection is in the eye of the beholder

The HS function is included with WD6 but isn't a Xara *written* one.
It's the 'as is by default' from the HS creator Torstein Hønsi.
There are many ways you can customise the HighSlide function, studying the HS Editor pages might assist?

As John said, there's a drop-in tweak to sort the centering.

Wow! Great! Now, it IS perfect popup feature.
Thank you sledger. I didn't know that WD uses HS.
Wise decision.

Best regards to all!
