I haven't really used Joomla actively for a year or two but have used it for a number of years and seem to have got myself totally confused.

I'm using JSN Imageshow to add a slideshow to the top of each page just below my horizontal main menu. What I want is for the slideshow to span the full width of the template i.e. so that the far left of the image aligns vertically with the left edge of modules in the left module position and the same for the right.

The template I'm using (JSN Boot) has three width's and the site visitor can switch between them:

Narrow = 941px
Wide = 1140px
Float = 90%

So what size should the images be that I use in the slideshow and/or what size should I set the Imageshow module so that it scales correctly at different screen resolutions? If I make the images and the module 941px wide than they align correctly at 1024x768 but at say 1280x1024 it's too small but if I make them 1140px then it's too big for 1024x768 and then what happens if someone is using a much higher screen res and uses the Float setting?

That setup was pretty hot back in the day... Now, you'll want to seek out a "responsive" template...

And there is a slideshow in the JED which bills itself as "Responsive" who knows, it may work.

Cheers Ranwill. However according to the website JSN Boot is responsive and in their demo they are using JSN Imageshow so it should therefore be possible. I'm think it's just the settings I'm using but I've tried so many variations now I've lost track of thing! :laugh:
