Great Theme...Thank you!!! I was successful in shortening my slideshow by changing the image height in my page.tpl.php and by copying the entire "/* slideshow + Preface top + Slideshow" section from my style.css file to the local.css and making the height changes there: 1) slideshow-wrapper height (to 331) 2) slideshow-inner height (to 266) and 3) slideshow height (to 266). Everything about the slideshow looks good and the bottom shadow is where it needs to be. My problem is that there is now too much gap between the slideshow and the next block which is in the "Preface First" location. No other Preface locations are utilized. Before I shortened the slideshow, there was not as much space as there is now. Is there a way to shorten shorten this gap? I've tried playing with various values in this section of my local.css file, but I have not found a solution. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Hi,

Maybe you forgot to change the margin bottom

#slideshow-wrapper{
margin-bottom:-45px;
}

I tried changing the margin-bottom from -45 to 0, to 100, to -100 and many other values in between...it made no difference. What direction should I change it to reduce the space? Do you have any ideas why none of the changes made a difference?

Dan, Thanks for responding.
-I changed the margin-bottom setting again, this time from -300 to 300 as well as many values in-between.
-I cleared the cache at Administration>Performance and clicked the "Clear all Caches" button
-I deleted all temporary internet files from internet explorer.
-Result: Nothing seems to affect it. It does not move at all. (For additional changes I made, see summary below)

Questions:
-Do you have any idea why it is not changing at all?
-when you tried it, did you also shorten the slideshow, or did you just change the margin?
-Is there any other feature that might be adding space between the slideshow and the Preface-First location?
-Do you have any other suggestions on things I can try?

So, in summary:
-I changed the image heights in my page.tpl.php
-copied the entire "/* slideshow + Preface top + Slideshow" section from my style.css file to the local.css
-in local.css, I changed
---slideshow-wrapper height (to 331)
---slideshow-wrapper margin-bottom from -45 to various values from -300 to 300
---slideshow-inner height (to 266), and
---slideshow height (to 266)
-I removed the ; from the"stylesheets[all][] = local.css" line of the Danland.info file.
Thank you - Bill

What I finally did...
To resolve this issues, I did the following. I reduced the ---slideshow-wrapper height to 256 even though my .slideshow-inner{ height and .slideshow{ height are both set at 266px. This allowed my block in the Preface First location to be located beneath my slideshow without too much of a gap. However, this brought the slideshow shadow up on the page to about half-way down the slideshow instead of at the bottom. Therefore, I disabled the shadow (even though I like the shadow and would prefer to have it) Thus, the gap is acceptable, but it is without the slideshow is without the shadow.
