I'm looking for a way to increase the slide show size from the pictures page in iWeb. It looks like it iPhone sized. I have tried it on 4 different computer with the same result
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7), MacBook Pro
There's really no easy way of doing so without post publication editing of some of the support files. There were other topics earlier on this subject but no one was able to do it .
You can use 3rd party java script slideshows instead of iWeb's. Examples of some are:
Jalbum - it has over 100 themes/skins to choose from and many will let you set the size of the slideshow image. An example can be see on this demo page: Jalbum Examples.
Other options are:
SimpleViewer and Flash Album Exporter
Flash Album Exporter Postcard and AutoViewer Slideshow Themes
The last two are from an iPhoto plugin.
OT
there are three slideshows in iweb and they can be changed when you which one and where the code is.
which slideshow do you refer to?
Thank you for the other options for the Slideshow. The problem is iWeb not work properly I do not think. The Slideshow that I'm referring to is the show that is generated by iWeb when you put pictures on a pictures page. Here is a page http://web.me.com/theruffians1/RufImage/Seals_1_2011.html you can check other pages they do it also. See what you think. I tried to "Publish entire site" with no change.
Thanks

How big are the slides in the slideshow when you play it? The size of the slide I see in your slideshow measures 800 px x 535 px on my iMac. Here's a screenshot of the browser widnow that I'm getting:
Click to view full size
Others also have reported really small images. I'm wondering if it couldn't be a hardware issue, i.e. graphic card.
I Start out with 1000 px on the long side. Also I just RePublish entire site again and on my iMac they look good now. They look good on my Tower and MBP also. When I look on my intel Mac mini they are Very Small and when I look on our Mac Air they are small. Also small on iPad.
I thank you for your time.
Here is a Screen Shot:
i can see your slideshow isn't set to full screen from here. you need to set the slideshows to full screen:
inspector --> photos pane --> slideshow tab --> appearance section --> select 'Full screen' checkbox.
btw, the only way to bypass this problem is to modify slideshow javascript, here is example with modified code:
http://temp.cyclosaurus.com/NavBarAltered/My_Albums/Pages/Photos.html
click on play slideshow and you will see just a small window but the image takes up the whole window.
It dose not effect the size of the image on screen. That was the first thing I tried. I got big black screen and iPhone screen size image.
As you can see when you compare my screen shot to Old Toads screen shot. In fact the type is being rendered the correct size.

open your slideshow with safari, hit command + shift + \
look at the url and you will see:
http://web.me.com/theruffians1/RufImage/Media/slideshow.html?backgroundColor=rgb (0%2C%200%2C%200)&reflectionHeight=100&reflectionOffset=2&captionHeight=100&fullScreen=0&transitionIndex=2
your slideshow isn't set to full screen.
It appears to the the transitionindex value that determines full screen. When the full screen option in unchecked the URL is the same except that transitionindex=1. With full screen checked transitionindex=2
Click to view full size
Full screen image size is approx. 1080 x 800 pixels. Non full screen is 800 x 600.
I know it is not in full screen now. I understand that. All full screen gets me is a Big Black screen and still little tiny images. But I just did what you asked on the Seals page and the Rock page.Just checked same size image on Mac Air screen.
Looking at the font on my screen shot VS Old Toads you can tell that his is at least double the size.
As I'm looking at things in the iWeb app I see that in the Preferences I have Optimize images on import checked on. Would that effect anything?
wrong! transitionindex has nothing to do with full screen mode. i know just all about iweb widgets and transitionindex isn't full screen.
it's working now, see PhotoMacGuy's url now and you see fullScreen=1
Did you have a chance to look at the page on your iPad?
empty cache and refresh your page.
this is what i get:
Looking good I will try that. That is in the ball park thanks.
Is transitionindex an indication of the slide transition selected? I had dissolve which was the second on the list of transitions. But it was the same for both checked ann unchecked.
