SENSE theme how to reduce slideshow height in "adapt to image"

Topic summary

Goal: Reduce the desktop slideshow height in the Sense theme so navigation dots/buttons are visible without scrolling while keeping full-width layout.

Context: Slideshow set to “Adapt to first image,” which bases height on the image’s aspect ratio. Mobile view is fine; desktop requires slight scroll to see controls. A screenshot was shared to illustrate the issue.

Suggestions:

  • Change the slideshow height setting to “Small” to decrease desktop height.
  • If keeping “Adapt to first image,” resize/rework the source images using the slider’s dimensions as a guide so the visible height fits within the viewport.

Outcome: Measuring the slider’s dimensions and resizing images accordingly solved the issue. No theme code edits were needed.

Status: Resolved; no remaining open questions.

Hi! You can change the height of slider to “Small” and see if that gets you the desired effect. Otherwise, I recommend reworking/resizing your actual image using the current slider dimensions as reference and leaving it set to “Adapt to first image”. Let me know if I misunderstood as it was a bit unclear what you’re trying to achieve.
