I’m stumped. When creating an image carousel in cases where the image doesn’t fill the pane - I’m getting random semi-complimentary colors in the BG instead.
And while I’m asking, is there a way to use linked images instead of inserted/dragged ones? In some cases the dragged copies look a bit grungy through downscaling conversion.
Forget that last inquiry. The more I start to think about juggling URLs and doing it in code - or resizing everything in Photoshop - the messier it becomes. Forget it.

I’m easily able to change it to a static BG color fill, but transparent is the goal. Changing colors - not so much.
I’ve also noticed that AutoPlay stops once the user navigates. Any way to set a timed or manual Resume AutoPlay from that point? Just curious.
There are Pause and Start buttons available in the Carousel Button Action. Nothing automatic, though.

So do many members of elected office. This is, first and foremost, a mailing list. And once a mail message is sent, there’s no retracting or editing it possible.
It looks to me as though these images are in graphic boxes larger than their imagery can fill. You can either set the background color deliberately, or you can allow Freeway to do it automatically. When you do the latter, Freeway looks at the top-left corner pixel, samples whatever color is directly beneath that point in the design view, and uses that.
You could either make all of these images 24-bit PNG, which have truly transparent backgrounds, or make the images have black backgrounds and keep them as JPEG. Your page background is black in this iteration, perhaps you wanted these to be transparent so that they can float over a background image? If that’s the case, then PNG is the easiest way.
Another approach is to put each image in a pass-through box (or simply force the box to be the same size as its content) and then place that image as an inline or positioned child of an HTML box – and make that HTML box the actual pane, not the bare image.

Thanks again Walter - going with PNG was super simple and something I just completely overlooked! I might try to pass through box just to see as well so I learn the alternate approach.

In those cases then - shouldn’t the UI say Auto as opposed to None - if None (transparent) isn’t an actual choice? Odd. No matter, thanks for the clarification!
