Carousel full screen

[mariusjopen]

Hi Daniel!

until now there is not an official feature for that option.

But what you can do is the following:

Add a custom class to your carousel. You can do this by right clicking on the carousel image

Then give the carousel a custom class like carousel-full.

Then you can add a custom CSS code to your theme:

.carousel-full {
    height: 100vh;
}

.lay-carousel.sliding {
    height: 100vh;
}

.col .lay-carousel img.h100 {
    object-fit: cover;
    height: 100vh;
    width: 100vw;
}

The code above is maybe not compatible with all Browsers. For example Internet Explorer has trouble using those CSS styles.

Then the carousel has the window height and width.
Try to keep all the images with the same aspect ratio. Which means they should all have the same height and width.

I hope I was able to help. If you have further questions – please let us know.

Enjoy your weekend!

Hello Marius,

I have the same problem; I'd like the carousel on my homepage to be fullscreen, and the other carousels in my website just normal/smaller on the page.
Now I'm trying to use the code you suggested. When I click on 'edit html class and id' I see a screen with 2 fill-in boxes: 'class' and 'id'. What do I fill in here? I tried the code you suggested above here, but that doesn't work. I'm not experienced in coding obviously ;)

Hope to hear from you.
Thanks!

Hi Marius,

So, I've typed in for 'class' and 'id', and then copied your code into Custom CSS for Desktop Version in Lay options.
But it doesn't do anything. Can you help me with this?
(It says: Unknown property: 'object-fit')

I think it works right now, but it works on all my carousel slideshows! Not only the one I assigned the code to. That's strange, could you tell me how to solve this?

It's not working for me. It also says: ... Unknown property: 'object-fit'... I can not even make it as far as Lve :(

What am I missing?

[mariusjopen]

Hello,

sorry I was not too specific.

You need to add carousel-full as a class. Because this class gets called by the custom CSS here:

.carousel-full {
    height: 100vh;
}

Let me know if that worked for you!

All the best!

I'm having this exact same problem, when I put the class in front of it the css doesn't trigger this function anymore.

Though I only want the object-fit and height/width 100vh/vw to be triggered on the .carousel-full class

[Mariinus]

Fixed it,

.carousel-full {
    height: 100vh;
}

.carousel-full .lay-carousel-wrap {
    height: 100vh !important;
}

.carousel-full img.h100 {
    object-fit: cover;
    height: 100vh !important;
    width: 100%;
}

@mariusjopen Hello,

It still doesn't work for me. It always says: ... Unknown property: 'object-fit' ... can't get past this point.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!!!

[mariusjopen]

Hi Lemo,
can you upload your website that I can have a look.

Maybe it is also connected to the spaces in front of the object-fit.

Can you delete them and see what happens?

Also object fit is not supported on all browsers:

Speak you soon!

Hello Marius, I'm also trying to implement a full screen carousel but am struggling. I would like a full screen carousel to responsively fill the screen so the image is not cut off at the bottom, with a floating 'close' button in the top right like this example: http://www.querida.si/wet-poster
Could you please explain how is this done?

[alidarosie]

I also notice that the text is responsive in this example?

@mariusjopen

Thanks for your help! I managed to make it work.

Best!

Dear @Mariinus,
I've found this thread while i have a problem adapting my Carousel into fullscreen.
My header images somehow still are not adjusted based on the appropriate screen size.
Do you think you could help me please?

Here is the screenshot of the Custom CSS .. something is definitely not right here, but i have no idea how to fix it. @Mariinus

[mariusjopen]

Dear @evey_k
you were almost there.
Just add this here:

.flickity-viewport {
    height: 100vh;
}

Best!

Hi Marius, thanks alot for your help!
My problem remains that the forward/previous arrow on the carousel is not quite in the middle at certain size of the browser. somehow it doesn't stay at the middle spot.

Dear @mountain
play around with this:

button.flickity-prev-next-button.next {
    top: 54vh;
}

Best!
