Hi all,
I am using the carbon theme and for some reason my default starting image wont appear in IE but it will in FF? Any ideas?

Is it possible to have the sidebar nav visible all the time without having to click on the tiny little spanner icon?

Is it possible to randomise your default starting image in the carbon theme?

Sorry for all the questions.

any help is greatly appreciated
Regards

Dave

A URL to your site would be helpful.

That's not the Carbon theme, it's the Slider theme. It appears to work for me with IE 8 on Vista.

I don't know much about the Slider theme except that there are not a lot of options for it. I think you can make the sidebar visible all the time by changing a setting in slider.js

Edit /themes/slider/slider.js

Find this line:
var options_on=0; // Sidebar/options are visible

Change 0 to 1
var options_on=1; // Sidebar/options are visible

Oh and as for the random image. I don't think so.

Ah, got something to work, don't know if it's the best option or not.

In your slider.js file, go to line 67 and add the part in bold:

function app_onload() {
  options_onoff();
  image_setsize();
  image_fit();
}

I don't know then. Maybe it's taking too long to load your images, they are quite large for what's actually being displayed on the page.

Maybe try a different theme, here's a demo site of most themes for G2.
