Hi @jhanjon,
Looks okay to me. Which browser and OS are you on?
Thanks kbadtdorf,
Since the posting, I spent way too much time looking for CSS tags and the result is still far from my needs. Check out my active site to compare. The slideshow is written in jscript, the entire site is built from scratch years ago, but the functionality is outdated. It would take too much time to integrate into WP.
Note the rough intro glitch which is presumably from too much with CSS. Ideally they settings options should work which they don’t so it would be nice to know the tags have the most specificity to make it easier to style.
I am not at the point of cross-browser checks.
@jhanjon,
You could try to set the “Smart Pad” crop in the cropping settings.
I just tried that and there’s no change, BTW, when I create a new slideshow I can’t name it, they all say “new slideshow.” My original post didn’t mention that I wanted the image full image width, so one slide may be 500px wide and the next be 800px by example, whereas the height will be constant, proportional.
Just removed all the custom CSS tags
Hi @jhanjon,
If you hover over and click on the title, an input box should appear where you can edit the name. As for the styling, it’s probably with your custom CSS. Here’s a post about the smart pad feature:

Thanks so much @kbat82.
There is no editing hover option for either the actual slideshow nor the “new slideshow” title.
I have a working slideshow on my existing site where I can put an image of any size which becomes proportionately constrained by CSS. There’s no need to add padding in a customized slide for the narrower images. My current site is not a responsive site, too old, cumbersome and the CMS capability is so-so, which is why I am trying WP.
I went through all the padding and crop options, perhaps in my unique case this, great and excellent plugin, may not be the one for me.
Hi @jhanjon,
Just adding this for anyone who stumbles upon this post down the road. If you cannot hover over that title, then there’s something wrong with the CSS on your site. Here’s a screenshot as to how it should look:

Alternatively, you can click the “Layout” button at the top right, then the title edit box moves to the right side of the screen. Here’s a screenshot of that:

Anyway, good luck finding the right plugin for your needs.
I concur, and the layout button worked like a charm, and thanks again, it truly is a great plugin.
