Link image properties to both thumbnail and hero image in slideshow?

Question

Would it be possible to have it that when you change the properties of the thumbnail in a slideshow, it automatically populates the hero image, and vice-versa? This would be a huge time-saver!
Thanks.

Thanks for the link.
When you style a background-image to an element in a Spry Menu, here is what happens:
If you style the a element, as in ul.MenuBarHorizontal a, you are styling ALL the a elements in the menu. Remember the cascade.
If you want to UN-style submenu a elements, you need to reiterate the styling thus: ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul a, which basically says "any a element in a submenu should take on this new styling."
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a {
  background-image: [image path here];
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul a {
  background-image: none;
The order of these rules is important. If you were to reverse the order of the two rules I show, you would begin by turning off the background on the submenus and turning it back on (and leaving it turned on) on all a elements.
The trick in the MenuBar css stylesheet is to find the appropriate rules to style. You will have to ADD the second rule that turns off the submenu styling. Read the comments and the style selectors in the css stylesheet carefully. It is not difficult, once you get used to reading the code.
