Change thumb to an image in a slider interaction?

I'm trying to figure out how to change a thumb to a photo.  Is there a way to do this?  I can see how to resize and recolor the thumb, but not replace it with a photo.

    I have changed the thumb to an image, but it is only viewable when sliding.  Otherwise the thumb is showing as the original green button.  How do I ensure it is always showing as my image and not the green button? I have tried to edit states, to no avail.  Thanks.

      Sounds like you added the image to the slider`s Hover state. To change the thumb for all states, make sure you are not in Edit States mode.

    Thanks Michael, not sure how I did that in the first place, but have it sorted now.  Hooray!

  • Hi, I know this is an old thread(!) but I'm using a pretty high res image as a thumb fill and yet when I publish the story looks really blurred. Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance

  • Hi, Laura.

    We have a bug reported where Slider Thumb Pictures are Blurry in HTML5, which is likely what you're experiencing. 

    I want to share some information on how we tackle bugs,  and we'll let you know as soon as we have an update on this issue.

      Hi Maria, Thank you so much for your speedy reply. I know this is probably a how long is a piece of string question, but any ideas on timescales for a fix?

      Thanks in advance.
