Let’s look at valuable latest updates for Argento
Argento 1.8.3 for Magento 1.x
Starting from today you can use Argento on Magento 1.9.3.0. It means you can extend Argento theme for new features.
Talking about built-in modules, you can see new extension added. Slick Carousel will help you to create sliders in Magento store with ease. Two carousel types are available. A slick wrapper type can be used with dynamically generated content, such as magento widgets. A slick type is calling a carousel on a static content. Within a module you may:
- Add a nice static carousel to the homepage
- Transform any product list widget (Magento built-in widgets, Highlight widgets, etc.) into Slick Carousel
- Use Slick lazy loading feature for static content carousels
- Set different slider options for different screen sizes
Moreover, Argento theme version 1.8.3 comes with custom styles for Slick product carousels. It means you can make the carousel look different in every Argento design.
