General Options

Main Settings

This section allows you to set slider title, select store view, enable/disable slider, set its width and height.

Slider dimensions [width and height] can be set to a fixed value, like 900 (indicating 900 pixels), or to a percentage value, like 100%.
Please note: slide title, store view and status are required, you cannot save the slide without these values set.
Image Settings

In image section you can adjust slider image configuration settings. Each option has a brief description. Let's describe some of them more specifically.

The Aspect Ratio
Sets the aspect ratio of the slides. If set to a value different than -1, the height of the slides will be overridden in order to maintain the specified aspect ratio.
