Update Thumb Sizes on Blocks and Moduls (Like Module 11 for example)

You are using specific Blocks that can be bundled in modules. I get that, but what i dont understand, are the thumbnails. These have been assigned to certain Blocks/Modules etc. and havent been updated since then?

For Example Module 11. I use this module, chause it looks like a module a news-site would use. On Desktop (Big Picture, highlighted headline, short text and a button… perfect. But youre using the 324×235 thumb for desktop and for mobile. It resizes the picture to 100 x +/-70 and the mobile browser has to load the whole 324×235 picture. Couldnt that be fixed? Theres already a 100×70 thumb… why not use this and speed up your theme.

I think there are many examples of thumbs, that doesnt fit exactly in mobile/landscape mode and could be optimised with already available thumbs, instead of resizing it.

And no i havent found a Block that does that job (without breaking the look of my news-blog).

Here is the example. It looks pretty, but its “ugly on the inside”. Both desktop and mobile using the same 324×235 picture (15.4kb). If the 100×70 Version would be used in mobile (2.9kb) the image filesize would shrink 80%+…

We are were of this and we try to optimization our theme as much as we can for the next update.

Thats great to hear. I found a “workaround”, but it would be great, if one of your coders would optimise the thumbs, so that the optimal thumb is shown on every device.

Hi,

That is what we want to achieve in the coming update, we try to have a great layout for each device with a good load speed.

Thank you for your understanding.
