[Pro] carousel tab button - just one image?

Hello!

I am trying to use the carousel tab button action to change the active image of a carousel tab. I have the numbers 1-5 as separate png tabs and would like to make their active states look different. I thought I could use this action but now I am wondering if I can only use one image for active and one image for inactive, per carousel? Is that the case or am I missing something?

Ive tried it with both carousel1 and carousel2

Thanks

Carousel and Carousel 2 both assign a classname to the currently-active tab. You can use this along with some extra CSS to make the tab change color. The canonical example is here: Carousel in Freeway This was built with Carousel. I don’t have an example with Carousel 2 on line, but it is very similar.

The key thing here is that you need to think ahead to how you want your tabs to change, and create a CSS style with the Tag set to .active to indicate the difference. You can’t just use two different images and call it a day. One trick that I really like is to use a transparent PNG image of your tab text, then you can use a different background color on the default tab and the active tab and you’re done. The example linked above uses a border plus some negative margin to keep the border from making the tab jump on the .active style.
