Improving dot navigation

    Hi,

    I have a request / suggestion:
    The dot navigation (as opposed to the left/right arrows) is very elegant, but it has a settings problem. Specifically, you can define only 1 color (background), which makes them hard to see on different images. Since the arrows already have 2 colors (back/foreground) in the settings, the dots should also use them.
    They could look like the Tabloid theme slider for instance: a circle in the foreground color, inside a bigger circle in the background color.

    And 1 nice-to-have: be able to set their vertical position in the image (like pixels from bottom)

    Thanks for your attention,

    RP

    Heya!

    We’d like to keep it simple and plug and play generally, but you can certainly do that with a sprinkle of custom CSS.

    For example

    
.maxslider .slick-dots button {
  width: 20px;
  height: 20px;
}

.maxslider .slick-dots button:before {
    content: "";
    width: 10px;
    height: 10px;
    display: inline-block;
    background-color: #000;
    border-radius: 50%;
    margin-left: 3px;
}

    This will add foreground dots to the dot navigation.

    The image position can be changed by applying background-position on the image element you wish 🙂

    Thank you so much for your quick reply Vasili!

    But I must have missed something, if I put your code in the custom CSS I’m not getting 2 concentric circles, I just get bigger dots (20x20px), in a single color which is the one defined in the settings as “navihgation background color” (not #000).

    Am I doing something wrong ?

    Thanks,

    Hmm, is the website somewhere live so I can inspect it?
