RokSlideShow - images do not fill the whole space.

[DeKuyper]

Hello,

I'm using the RokSlideShow and in general it works fine on my site. But one problem: the first image out of seven (the total I have for now) does not fill the whole space, does not load completely. The rest of the images that follow (transition type Fading) load completely and correctly. No matter which one goes first, there is always such problem with loading. This happens in Chrome. In IE7 all images do load completely, cut at the bottom.


How can I fix it? Can anybody suggest me anything?

Thank you very much in advance!

Not all the images are of the same size. But the trick there is that only first image (no matter which one that goes first) is reduced in Chrome. Though, in IE all of them do not fill the space properly.

Try using Jpg's instead of Png's....the images are really slow to load at first...png's do have issues with Ie7 if i remember correctly

the whole banner thing doesnt work with Chrome...lol

I replaced all png files with jgp but it made it worth - no pics load at all, both IE and Chrome. So I returned back to png images and the same result resumes Seems like it does not help... Any ideas please?

Ensure that the image's name is lowercase, without spaces or symbols - "DSC_0141.png"....also try rezing the images to the exact size and changing resize from true to false this may speed the images loading

Also Rokslideshow supports png's or jpg's all you need do is point to the right directory? file names must be lowercase though.

whooooo your images sizes are 7.6mb!!! no wonder it takes an age to load...resize and optimize the images first

[DeKuyper]

Just to doublecheck that I understand right - "DSC_0141.png" - is the correct way to name or not?

And where could I change please true to false?

thank you for all your tips!

would be easier use "image1.jpg, image2.jpg" in lowercase! leave the other bit for now just resize and optimise those images to the correct size first -the correct size for the images should be width: 430, height: 300,

Thank you very much!
I edited the photos, changed the resolution, cropped them a bit, and now they load quickly, not resized in loading. And also (i guess that helped most of all) - I changed the user module for the Rokslideshow from user 3 to user 1 where it better fits the space and does not come over the neighbour area.

Hello, mtdmitchell!
I wonder if you could help me with a new question practically about the same.

The slideshow pics (RokSlideShow) that you helped me recently to modify are in the module User 3. But as you can see on the attachment here (printscreen), by using this module I leave a boring blank space on the right.
Any ideas how I could get rid of this empty space or maybe use it, extend the pics to the right as well? Is it possible at all?



thank you very much in advance!
