Product image letterboxes

[FaTedev]

Sub-category image sizes are fairly easy to adjust in back office, hats off to prestashop for quick changes, however..

 

Upon changing the standard theme from white to any other colour these subcategory images gain white letterbox borders (top and bottom). There is no ability to over-ride or select your own colour for this border area. On custom themes this leads to ugly results.

 

On the flip side, there are modules out there to do this function however such modules override all image borders which is not the intended result either.

 

Various image formats and sizes do not change the result as my first thinking was aspect ratio of the picture mis-matching the display size until I made images to exactly fit and the yielded the same result.

 

This is a createimagefrom process in PHP and only needs to have transparency set for borders instead of solid fill colour.

 

PLEASE FIX THIS

Hi.

 

This is a real issue for me too, and I just stumbled across this, mentioned in another forum: http://catalogo-onlinersi.net/en/prestashop-modules/255-image-color-fill-prestashop.html ("image fill" module - perfect!)

 

It's free, and seems to enable changing the colour to whatever you want (don't know about transparent though). I'm going to be using a custom generated theme from Thememaker when my shop is ready enough so I may not need it, but will try this module later if the theme doesn't fix it. In the meantime, if you try it out, maybe share if it worked for you or not.
