Alignment issues with accordion widget, pinning a stretch-to-browser-width slideshow

I am experiencing multiple issues with with a website design. I have spent hours trying to trouble shoot these stupid problems. I am SO FRUSTRATED.

I want a slideshow that remains pinned to the top of the browser. I want the slideshow to stretch to the browser width up to 1100 px, and no further. When I select "stretch to browser width" it applies across all breakpoints automatically. I don't want it to stretch beyond 1100 px, but if I change the resize to the lock at 1100, it changes across all breakpoints. I feel like I am chasing my tail! The solution for me is to choose "responsive width and height", but that makes the slideshow scale in ways that I don't want. I want a consistent height. "Responsive width" only would be a better solution, however it is greyed out.

My next issue is with centered content that shifts sideways as I change my browser width when it should always stay centered. If I pin to center, it breaks an accordion widget, causing it to overlap instead of push down. If I leave it unpinned and hope that is still stays centered, it mostly works, but between 700-1000 px, the content slides right, out of alignment with the rest of the page. Adding more breakpoints to fix the centering issue just makes it worse. My workaround was to make the content responsive width... somehow this keeps it more aligned, but I don't really want the boxes and text to vary in width.

It seems every solution introduces a new problem. I have gone round and round with what I thought was a very simple layout. It looks okay at the moment, but I feel that any further changes will break the site. My transitions between breakpoints should be smooth, but they seem very choppy and unpredictable.

Thanks for any insight!

You should not set the gallery to "stretch to browser width", then it could look like this (I used 1200 instead of 1100)

But at my 1200 there's a decision to be made, as you may see.

If you use fluid width breakpoints, center the slide show and resize to none:

In your case I deleted the breakpoint beyond the 110 and left the double arrows as you set them:

I cannot figure out why the accordion does not push down content. Needs some more searching.

Best Regards,

Uwe

Thank you Uwe for your insight. ^_^

The accordion works correctly as long as I do not pin content underneath it. But by not pinning the content, it drifts off center very dramatically at times between breakpoints.
