Make homepage slider smaller and centred

[goviral 4]

I am wanting to change the size of the homepage slider to about 600 or 700 px wide instead of the current 978px (same as header?).

 

test.gowebgomobile.com

 

I have the following code but can't seem to centre it. I know, dumb question...

.fslider {
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4);
box-shadow: 0 1px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-o-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
padding: 5px;
width: 700px;
}

Thanks

Try removing the right sidebar and the quickslider will fill the available space. Or place the quickslider in the header so it fills the available space or put the quickslider in the page template rather than the content area template.

After looking at your site i can see that the quickslider is now full width - http://d.pr/i/ZaVE

 

is that how you wanted it to appear?

I changed it back to full width because I managed to change the slider to a smaller size but just couldn't centre it for some reason.

I tried adding a sidebar but I haven't tried putting it in the content section.

I've ended up reducing the size with the code above and changing the width of the default site layout to 740px so that the slider is centred. The site is not as wide but this works fine.

Thanks for your help.

Hi there, to center the slider add margin:auto; to your code for the slider.
