How can I adjust the slideshow height on my Taste theme?

Topic summary

A user running the Taste theme on their Shopify store initially requested help to remove height restrictions on their homepage slideshow. After implementing a previous solution, the slideshow became too tall and they now want to reduce it to approximately half or one-third of its current height.

Solutions Provided:

Two support teams offered CSS-based fixes:

  • GemPages Support Team recommended adding custom CSS code to the theme.liquid file (placed before the </head> tag)
  • Litos suggested pasting code at the bottom of the theme.liquid file via Actions > Edit code

Both solutions included code snippets and screenshots to guide implementation.

Outcome:
The user confirmed the issue was resolved and expressed appreciation for the assistance provided. The discussion is now closed with a working solution in place.

Hi, sorry me again, I am using theme Taste at www.orangegrove.co.nz and first I asked for help to stop the restriction of height of the homepage slideshow container but now its too high and I want to change it to about half or even a third of what it is now.

Before when I asked for help to have it higher as the theme was restricting the height too much, the code I was kindly given was for image with text and when I look at the dev code behind the page slideshow I see it as the slideshow container. I have tried changing the height of component-slideshow.css to 50% but it doesn’t work.

Would appreciate any help please, sorry to ask again.

Thanks so much

Wendy
