  I would like to have a slideshow on the homepage of my website, but I really don’t like the WordPress one, is there another i can use?

  If not, what I really hate is the black background and border, is there a way to change this? I have tried doing it from my media settings and by adding this CSS code I found in an earlier thread:
  .slideshow-window {
  background: #fff;
  border: none;
  }

  but neither work…

  I’m using the forever theme.
  THANKS

  We need to be just a little more specific with the selector to make this work. Give this a try.

  .entry-content .slideshow-window {
  background: #FFFFFF;
  border: none;
  }

  Now I have a little problem, I’ve removed (or decreased) the space where the tagline would go which is great. But with the background being white, now it appears as a really big gap between the navigation menu and the slideshow…. is there anyway to fix this?

  Thanks again.

  You might have to adjust several things to get the gap where you want it. Start with #access and #main and then go to .entry-content, .entry-summary if necessary. I’ve targeted this to the home page only.

  .home #access {
  margin-bottom: 1.615em;
  }
  
  .home #main {
  padding-top: 1.615em;
  }
  
  .home .entry-content, .entry-summary {
  margin-top: 1.615em;
  }
