Today I finally pushed through the challenge of learning to install the slideshow and other visual elements, starting with my Renovate site (morninglightmusic.org). It turned out so pretty, thanks for such a beautiful template. I did however observe a few issues I'm hoping you can help me with:
1) Disappearance of drop downs on mobile devices, on homepage displaying slideshow:: The drop downs still work well on regular computers - but on my iPad and ipHone the menu would not drop down - which is a major problem since those drop down items provide access to all the rest of the site. (For that reason, I'm not doing Responsive.) As an experiment, I unpublished the slideshow and tried it again - sure enough, the drawdowns worked fine without the slideshow; also even when the slideshow is published the drop downs work great on all portable devices.
2) Size of images for slideshow and background image in Renovate: First I tried sizing the to the sizes indicated in the template. (1100x395 for the slideshow.) This resulted in a thin little strip of image - not in the least resembling the sizing on the Renovate demo. So I experimented - ended up with 1200x800, set to 100% - this looked nice on the page. Is that OK, or do you see any problem with that sizing?
3) Similarly, I use one of my slideshow images also for my background in Renovate. I made a blank custom module in Bottom position to get the image to display there... Finally got it to work - it looks absolutely gorgeous on the 17" Macbook I built it on. (Again, used a 1200x800 version of the picture. However, on my other devices that bottom module shows up a strange size - just the very bottom of the image (grey) with . Is there a way to get this background txto
I hope you can help me resolve these issues, as I LOVE the template and how it displays this materials. Thanks - Carrie

Hi Carrie
Great to hear you are enjoying the template
1. This is most likely caused by a javascript conflict. Ensure that jQuery is turned off in your slideshows parameters as it is already loaded by Joomla. An option for this is available with the slideshow modules parameters.
2. This size would be perfect considering the height set for your slideshow.
3. Could you try adding the following to the Custom CSS field of your templates parameters where 300px is the height of this area of the template (edit to taste). Ensure to leave your Custom HTML module enabled!
