You can change the height of the Slider using this code in Page Inspector > CSS:
.s-slide { height: 450px }
One more nice and cool effect built-in, the ability to use slide effects triggered by scroll events.
To do that you will need to add some class's to the element you want to animate, one simple example would be something like this:
- Insert the following code in an HTML stack or anywhere that allows HTML:
<div id="myExtraContent1"> <div class="align-center wow fadeIn"> <h1>It's all about the <span>big hero</span> strapline.</h1> <p>But don't forget about your jazzy tag line!</p> <a href="#content" class="button big scrolly">Learn More</a> </div> </div>
- You can see that I've added the class's named "wow" and "fadeIn" in the element above.
- The other options you can use are here. Just pick the one you want and your done.
Beam Theme as some nice and cool effects built-in, an example is the ability to scroll when clicking on a link.
- Insert the following code in an HTML stack or anywhere that allows HTML:
<div id="myExtraContent1"> <div class="align-center wow fadeIn"> <h1>It's all about the <span>big hero</span> strapline.</h1> <p>But don't forget about your jazzy tag line!</p> <a href="#content" class="button big scrolly">Learn More</a> </div> </div>
- Replace the ID value "#content" in the link href above with the name of the ID you need to scroll to and use the class name "scrolly" to enable the scroll effect on you page.
- Optional ExtraContent sections ID's are #two, #three, #four, #five and #six.
