How do I modify the length and with of a Drupal Mega Slider? - drupal-7

The Drupal CMS has many themes available to customized this open source php software. I am using Drupal 7.x. I am using the popular theme is porto.
Porto comes with a Mega Slider component. And that is what I am using here. I am using the Mega Slider that comes with Porto.
I have going through the tutorial to created a test slider and it looks fine. But the width spans the length of the front page. In the configuration settings of the control, I have disabled the checkbox to allow for this width but this has had no effect or change in the display.
I have assigned the dimensions of the control to 644 X 320 and I have even made sure that each photo used as the main image of each pannel is this width. But this does not change anything.
Please advise or ask for more clarification.

Is it possible to change user's phone orientation using react?

I have the next question. I am developing a react application with some images. The user has the possibility to click and open a full-page image. Because the image's orientation is horizontal on the mobile, it does not look good. My idea is when the user clicks on the full page icon, the orientation of the phone becomes horizontal as is implemented on youtube. I tried to find some information about that, but I am not sure if it is even possible, I saw that only by using react native and developing mobile applications you can have access to the user's orientation of the screen. But maybe there are some methods to do in the browser? Thanks in advance.
It is not possible to change this from the web, however you could simply rotate the image and display it full screen. This has been done here:

Ionic app rendering incorrectly after camera opened

I have an ionic 1 app that uses $cordovaCamera to retrieve a photo from the user. Oddly, after the camera is opened (doesn't matter whether the user takes a picture, cancels, or picks one from library) the app renders incorrectly once it's closed. The status bar overlays the top of the view, and the bottom of the view overflows off the viewport. However, if you re-orient the device (go from portrait to landscape) it will fix itself.
Is there any way to force the app to repaint manually?
Extra info regarding the bug itself: I created a new ionic 1 app separately and copied the camera code over exactly and it does not have the same problem. Same versions of ionic, angular, ngCordova, and the camera plugin. So I believe the actual rendering problem is specific to my app. However, after a full day of messing around I can't figure out for the life of me what's happening.
We had the same issue with the cordova-plugin-statusbar version: 2.2.1
The solution was pretty simple. We downgraded this dependency to version 2.2.0 and everything worked as expected again.
To use an exact version of a cordova plugin, specify it in the config.xml of your project as in example below:
<plugin name="cordova-plugin-statusbar" spec="2.2.0"/>
Don't forget to remove ./platforms and ./plugins folders and to run cordova prepare after downgrading the plugin versions.
take a look at this plugin:
cordova-plugin-hidden-statusbar-overlay
just install it, and after calling the camera, run this code:
window.plugin.statusbarOverlay.hide();
The answer ended up being pretty easy: REMOVE the status bar plugin.
I was under the impression that the status bar plugin was needed to make it appear at all but this is not the case. The StatusBar plugin only lets you style it - but since iOS 9 you can only choose from 2 options anyway.
Remove the status bar plugin completely. Don't forget to edit your bower.json, config.xml, the initialization code in your ionic app that sets StatusBar defaults, etc.
Add padding or margin to the top of your app when the body element has the class platform-ios. Per the Apple Developer Docs:
Obscure content under the status bar. By default, the background of the status bar is transparent, allowing content beneath to show through. Keep the status bar readable and don’t imply that content behind it is interactive. There are several common techniques for doing this:
1) Use a navigation bar in your app, which automatically displays a status bar background and ensures that content doesn’t appear under the status bar.
2) Display a custom image, such as a gradient or solid color, behind the status bar.
3) Apply a blur to the content behind the status bar.
What you should end up with is the exact same appearance without the plugin.

How do you get ActionBar from SocialBoo theme to show up in your GUI?

Ok. Starting over with this. I see that the SocialBoo theme has something similar in what I want to achieve. If I find that I can work and improve. I Added a new socialboo theme and created blank GUI. Assumed it would be a Commandbehavior but that didnt do the trick, so did adding tabs. Seems like those components are not for that specific bar... However did notice another issue.
How do I get the social actionbar as displayed in the socialboo theme? (Screen shot). Assuming those images etc are part of the default theme, right.
Also, If I create a TouchCommand = bar, title or native. It displays fine in Gingerbread but not ICS. DO you know why is that? (screen shot)
Thanks, in advance.
Those images aren't a part of the theme, they are a part of the specific demo. If you add a Tabs component to the center of the border layout UI you will get thee tabs where the "icon" property will allow you to customize the unselected icon and you can customize the selected icon as well. You can see the full source/resource file of the social boo demo in the docs and demos zip in the download section.
Generally customizing commands is a bit complex because of platform specific constraints, when running on an Actual Android 4 device we use the native ActionBar by default to provide the experience Android users are used to. This is hard for us to simulate so you will only see this properly in the device build. I suggest not relying on commands, it seems that what you are trying to achieve is easily doable with tabs and its possible that's why you had difficulties in your other question.

How to make several instances of Nivo Slider in Drupal 7

I developed a web site using Drupal 7. I use Nivo Slider and it works perfectly for me. I used Nivo Slider for the front page of the site. When I configured the Nivo Slider it's settings are displayed under structure in the Drupal CMS menu. Basically, I have to update images and set transitions and etc.
I have another page where I nee to add a new slideshow, but I don't know how to make another instance of Nivo Slider and use it. I would guess there should be an easy way to handel this.
You can create another instance of the nivo slider block with the MultiBlock module, but the other instance will have the same settings and same images of the original slider block.
You can use the Views Nivo Slider module to create another slider block.

About the application with the i icon at the bottom of the screen

I searched for this and couldn't find any references to this.
In my iOS universal app, I wanted to display the information icon (same as the utility application) at the bottom right of my main view controller and use the same both for iPhone and iPad to flip over to display information about my app and other things. On the iPadd Utility application template with XCode 4.6, the information icon is displayed as a button on the navigation bar and a UIPopOver control is used to display information.
In my case, I don't want to use a UIPopOver on the iPad but use the same flip over effect both for iPhone and iPad when clicking the information icon. Is this a valid as per Apple's guidelines or guaranteed for rejection?.
I do exactly what you're thinking of doing in my app. I used the flip transition to display my info page using the information icon as the button image. I had no problems with Apple regarding this when I submitted.
