hey Chris,

thanks for the replie(s) again!

I guess I will see how far 1. brings me; though I am afraid not very far. I am really working on the assumption to use high-quality images (like 1200px), which then work equally well in different scenarios (i.e. different screen sizes etc.). but your info is some hint to tweak things a little in special scenarios. so good/helpful to know!

as to 2: ok. I hear that. might be my idea of having image panels being resized and shown as unclipped image panels is a special one – though I am not sure... but I take from you that horizontal rescaling works while vertical just doesn´t – ... and I can´t judge the different complications involved. I assumed it should be pretty much the same code in principal, but I am no coder, and surely take your word for it.
... still I would think scaling only makes sense when it works in both dimension, and otherwise one not being present defeats the other to some extent, especially if there is no preferred dimension in the concept of the theme.
– but given your information, I just wait and see whether some more people think this should be in the theme. personally I would feel a little overstretched to make this an individual customization order... but let´s see... maybe the need/want for both dimensions to rescale can be pooled into a collective request...
... if not, I take my idea to be a very individual one, and leave it there.

cheers + thanks again!

Hi there,

1. You can see the script at work in the "custom.js" file on lines 382-400. Basically it's looking at the height for each panel and it's checking to see if the height of the content + some top and bottom padding (50px each) is shorter than the window height. If it's shorter, it vertically aligns.

2. That's a bit tricky and wouldn't be an easy CSS-tweak. It would involve some research, custom scripting and testing. For this, you can submit a customization request: http://themolitor.com/custom

Thanks!

hey,

that was fast thanks.

I see what you are saying.

the two things I wonder then still are:

1) in terms of alignment:
I would like to understand how that functions, and still think it behaves a little odd. in this case I have a fairly decent image (650px); when I have the browser window to the max (950px - which is a macbook pro, so quite common scenario), I still can´t see the navigation for next pages. I don´t really understand why the display uses 300px as whitespace, and still in this rather normal setup a user wouldn´t see the next-page navigation?

2) in terms of rescaling:
wouldn´t it be as useful to have vertical re-scaling as much as horizontal, with view to image-only panels? just having one seems a little random and you lose a lot the advantage of the panel logic with images. so I wonder why this is, and still wonder whether this might not be changed with some easy css-tweak (option)?

thanks again!

Hi there,

Thanks for the link!

If your browser window is tall enough to fit all content in a single view, it will vertically align the panel. If the browser window is shorter than the content, it will just make the panel as tall as the content (plus some additional padding).

If the image doesn't appear vertically aligned, that means your browser window isn't tall enough to display the panel in that way.

Try viewing the page on a larger display (or zooming out using your browser tools) and you'll see the panel does vertically align.

Hope that explains things for you.

Best,

Chris

sure! thanks!

Hi there,

Can you provide a link? I'll check it out.

Thanks!

hey,

just started exploring theme and am mostly very satisfied with it. so thanks first of all for this unique theme!

there is one problem I encounter, though. looking through the forum, I found nothing on this (only distantly similar, but dealing with background images, not content images)...

my problem is: I have a very small image (750x650px). when you scroll to that page, it wouldn´t align/resize vertically, just horizontally. that is on content, not on background images.

the result is not only a cut off image-panel, but people going there do not even see the next-page symbols, so they are actually lost, through this. besides this being not the optimal aesthetical solution for single-image-panels
– all that happens with a centered image and quite small dimensions.

is there any way to get this theme to do both adjustments, horizontal + vertical? I think current behavior essentially breaks navigation.
... but maybe I also overlooked some way to cutomize this...?!

thanks already for help!
