Project Thumbnails

[ondrejricica]

Hello.

I really love the latest update. Big up!

I'm not sure why, but can not use the new feature Project Thumbnails . I really wanted to customize arrow's appearance, but there's no Project Arrows option on my Customise panel. Tried in Firefox, Safari and Chrome (Mac).

Could you please suggest how to do so?

Thank you,
Ondrej

Thx! Did you activate project arrows? You need to activate it first in "Lay Options" -> "Misc Options"

[ondrejricica]

Yes, that was the first thing I did. I even cleared browser cache. Really wonder why it's not showing yet.

[arminunruh]

They only show up when you go inside a project in the customizer. Can you try that?

[ondrejricica]

I just hit Customise while being in Project, and I can edit only Project Title and Project Thumbnail Mouseover. Is that what you mean?

[arminunruh]

I mean you can go to Customize. Then on the right side you see your website. There you can go inside a project and then voila, on the left side, the "project arrow" control should appear. Let me know if that works for you.

[ondrejricica]

Just tried and not showing up for me, sorry.

[arminunruh]

Ok, I don#t know why it doesn't work. Maybe you can send me your login over chat so I can take a look?

[ondrejricica]

I'm not sure why is that. I made a simple workaround with Project links on a bottom: http://ondrejricica.com/liam-hodges/ and I'm kinda happy with that.

Is there any chance to use HTML5 Video as a Project thumbnail?

[arminunruh]

No theres no way to use a html5 video as a project thumbnail, but thats a feature I want to code one day.

Also it seems you are looking for the project arrows within the project thumbnails panel in customizer. But project arrows has its own panel.
I think it would help a lot if I could go in your backend and then I could maybe see why it doesnt show up :D

[ondrejricica]

Great, it's working now. I clicked inside a Project and it showed up. Fireworks!

But real pitty about HTML5 Video thumbnail. I used gif once as a test but looked very pixelated.

Hey everyone,
Is there a way of using HTML5 videos as thumbnails yet? Can't find it anywhere and gif's are just way to big and making the site load very slow.

thanks for the great theme, very happy with it!

cheers
