    Lightbulb CSS Responsive Wrap Slideshow using CSS Variables

    Using only CSS in this Slideshow, you get automatic Thumbnails, a hover pop-up, a click to picture action and of course the slideshow itself.

    To build your own:
    • You add your large pictures into a !Slides layer.
    • You given them all the same Image Filename of 'slide' - Xara increments them for you.
    • Copy and Paste the Slideshow Setup & Slideshow Placeholders into you design.
    • Tweak the Slideshow Setup settings; usually just the width and height.
    • Resize the Slideshow.
    • Finally copy the CSS of the example Web properties > Page > HTML body (code) into your design in the same area.


    In the example file, the pictures are 1280px wide @192dpi so fairly high resolution.

    CSS Responsive Wrap Slideshow using CSS Variables - modded from Stu Nicholls.xar

    It is one of the few sliders I have worked on that do not slow down the browser or computer. Lighthouse Performance is a wonderful 100%.
    I normally despair at overloaded index pages that take forever to run a slideshow that usually adds nothing to the presentation.

    Egg, I have just downloaded it from my TG link above.
    It opens and previews fine.

    I assume you've just had XPro+v22.3?
    Did you Run as Admin after a cold boot?

    Here is a demo: https://shared.xara.com/uM6ngFJKEi

    Okay Acorn,

    I D/L'ed it and it still wouldn't open. Using v22.3 which I loaded to test the import data into tables. Running as Admin.

    However after a reboot it opens fine now.

    Looks sweet, I'll give it a trial tonight.

    Hello Acorn, just been looking at this in more depth and I can't get the play/pause to work in any browser.
