Hi All Thanks Mans.....if the TW only had the slide show stuff that would be a simple solution.....I could even set the width of the whole TW....or I guess you are meaning that the iframe accesses ......url/ TW.html#slideshowtiddler - that would work and maybe my out !!!!
What I have found since my request is that setting the width of the display area sets the slideshow width as well. So, with forcing the slideshow toolbar to the left I now have the slideshow funcioning at the left 800px of the laptop display....which is perfect for the datashow. The only strange thing is that a background image in a slide show theme gets repeated across the whole screen....not a problem when connected to a datashow (the screen is only 800px anyway) ...but a bit distacting while still in laptop mode..... ..I also thought of putting the slideshow into a popup or nested window...but couldn't get that to work for now.... ...so for now I have a wrok around.....and would welcome other ideas...
