Carousel : Style Text Slides?

[DMB]

Hi @arminunruh ,

I've said it before but I'll say it again - I love Lay theme!

Was just wondering if theres a way to style text slides in the carousel?

So I have a carousel of images and have inserted a text slide to break up sections of work in my slideshow - but there is no way to vertical align it in relation to the size of the slide. Also, more importantly there is there a way to change the background colour of the text slides?

Thanks man!

@DMB Ok so i figured out how to change the background color of the whole carousel using a css id selector or class selector but when i add some css it works, but creates an overlap on the rest of the slides which doesnt look so good - screengrabs attached.

Any idea? Would be better to be able to style the individual slides though really when i enter text rather than affect the whole carousel...

Hey ! haha thanks!!

You can align text slides vertically in "lay options" -> "Carousel Addon" -> "Vertical Alignment of Text"

If you only want to use css for the slideshow, you can do it like that:

.slide-text{
background-color: red;
}

@arminunruh Thanks for that man.

Using your css above doesnt seem to work - i get this below.

What i want is to be able to change the colour of the whole slide...

Oh,
Yes true.
Please update your carousel to 1.1.7 and then use this css:

.lay-carousel-slide-text{
background-color: red;
}
