Home page slideshow
Your home page slideshow can have up to 5 images, with a choice of 3 different transitions. You can also add links to other pages, and a caption to each slide as well. The slideshow resizes for different devices, and looks gorgeous on tablets and phones.
You can edit your slideshow by going to the "Design & assets -> theme editor" section of your store's Toolbox. There you can upload new slideshow images, delete images, enter captions and links in the "Home page slideshow" section.
You will need to upload your slideshow images at the correct size of 960px x 400px so that they're not stretched or squashed. You can do this using most image editing programs, but many people find Pixlr useful.
Contents
Using Pixlr to create a slideshow image
- Go to the Pixlr editor
- Click "Create a new image"
- Set the width to 960 and the height to 400, and click OK
- You now have your canvas to work within. You will need to explore the various tools and options. You can open your own images in Pixlr using "File -> Open image" in the Pixlr menu. You can then copy and paste your images into your slide.
- When your slide is looking gorgeous, save it by choosing "File -> Save" from the Pixlr top menu.
- Choose JPEG for your format, and set your quality to 80
- When you've saved the file to your computer, upload it in the "Design & assets -> Theme editor -> Home page slideshow" section of your store's Toolbox.
