    Hi,

    I haven’t seen any topic on this.
    I just want to resize the slideshow. For example, I’d like it to be 70% of the height of the screen instead of 100%.

    I have played with style.css but nothing seems to work…

    A little precision, I am a new user of WP, and MK theme is the first one I use. And I’m a coding newbie, only made wifey website about 5 years ago with dreamweaver, so I have basic notions only…

    Link: (I don’t know if you can access it, I’m still building it on 1&1, and poor quality images are just for testing)

    Thanks for your help guys.

    Try adding this to the #slides selector in your styles.css –

    height: 600px !important;

    and resize to your liking, I tried percentage but the slide disappears entirely. px can give you more precision.

    Thanks for your answer, but it doesn’t work.
    I can’t understand how style.css works.

    When I go to appearance>editor>and I select style.css, Even if I delete all the things written in the style.css, the result of the website doesn’t change (And I refresh using ctrl+F5).

    I can make every change on the style.css, I’ll see nothing changing. Even adding “height: 600px !important;”.

    And on my “style.css”, I do not have the exact word “#slides, so I tried to put your code in:

    .gallery-image-slider{
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    top: 0;
    z-index: 16;

    Is there something I do wrong ?

    I believe .gallery-image-slider code is for the native gallery slider of wordpress and not the slider area created by the theme.

    There is a styles.css in the mk theme folder. Can you access the file via FTP rather then the editor?

    When you add the height code did you add it like this…

    #slides {
    height: 600px !important;
    }

    That will override the original css but only the height value.

    Thank you leofx4, it works when adding your last height code in the css !!
