Wait, what? You have to download a plugin to change the appearance of the admin panel? L O Freakin’ L! You cannot be serious!

Wow – it’s not about the colors. Once I fix that problem, there are so many, others, which I don’t have the ability, inclination or time to deal with. Like the typeface and the flatness (lack of 3D which makes a page readable). I have no interest in ‘designing’ and admin panel, I want to work on my blog and not waste time ‘customizing’ something that is fundamentally bad to begin with.

This user stated the problems much more eloquently than I ever could

Indeed, the admin theme changes are grotesque. It makes one wonder how so many precious man-hours could be devoted to mucking around with such superficial concerns, particularly when the existing look and feel of the previous admin was visually pleasing and well defined. Adding features is one thing, but dictating personal taste is another.

Consider the statement posted on the WP site that defends the creation of this ugly theme: “Gone are overbearing gradients and dozens of shades of grey— bring on a bigger, bolder, more colorful design!” Wow! “Overbearing”? Really?–Orwell would love that one. The previous admin theme was subtle, perhaps a bit boring, but “overbearing???!” — give us a break.

Then there is the flat-is-cool virus that seems to have infected the coding community. There seems to be some fantasy about how elegant and beautiful flat, featureless, boxes on a stark background are to the viewer. My two year old son draws like that, but I would not call it elegant.

We need the folks at WP to work on improving security, load times, efficiency and other important improvements under-the-hood–not in your face. The admin area is a work space that needs to be functional well defined and easy on the eyes. The stark, flat, police-cruiser motif of 3.8 really is “OVERBEARING.” And the ability to choose other colors really doesn’t help much because the design is aesthetically juvenile. Admin themes are the domain of plugins, not the WP core.

Nope that isn’t possible. Can’t be done. I tried to do the same thing and after many queries and paying premium support was berated for not being able to tell the difference between text and image. Sorry.

By column’s ‘text’ you mean the third space below column on the presentation page? Where it asks for first image, second title, third text? Putting the shortcode in the area marked ‘text’ gets the video (or slideshow or whatever is shortcoded) to appear below the column. Is there a way to get in INSIDE the column?

I know – I’ve done all that. I am able to insert it into the text box but not the column. I have since removed it from the text box.

Gopi Horizontal Image Scroll Reel Slideshow, the only one I have found that scrolls the images across instead of having one fixed one and you can see more than one at a time.

I meant to write Image box and Text box. Not back.

I don’t understand what that means or how to do it, I thought I did that already.

But I went back and checked what is in there, and the iframe has totally disappeared from teh Image back, and the shortcode is back in the Text back, yet the slideshow is playing in the column. Before when the code was like this the column was blank and the slideshow was playing in the text box.

Wow, that worked! Except for one problem – the movable heading is now fixed at the top. I am totally not getting where it is getting the slider location from.

In Parabola Settings, Graphic Settings (6th row down) there is a box ‘Menu Alignment’ choose Left, Center, or Right

Here’s the link

there’s no url. It’s not a video it’s a slideshow I created using a plugin. You can see it at the link I posted – it’s in the text but not in the column

Don’t think so. You have columns, a text area, then another text area

Sorry I can’t help you. I have no idea what your question is. Why not just disable the presentation page?

OK Sarah you have me stumped, I don’t understand what it is you’re trying to do. I’m not understanding why you wouldn’t just put the information from your ‘home’ page into the presentation page.
