Text and event links are displayed over the\nimagery with configurable colours, scale, padding, and markdown content that\ncan now be edited directly in-place on the preview.\nColour selections (Title Colour, Text Colour) now persist correctly after\nsaving. The admin panel has been tidied up with consistent range sliders\nfor padding and offset controls, and a reusable RangeSliderComponent for\nfuture use.\nEvents can now be displayed as a page content row with server-side\npagination that no longer causes a full page refresh. Walks pages are\nmigrated to use this new events row pattern.\nAlso removed the legacy social carousel, fixed a gap above the gallery\nview, added PNG upload preview support, and ensured the selected album\nview persists across page refreshes in edit mode.","contentHtml":"<h1>07-Mar-2026 — backgrounds view, events row, and admin improvements <a href=\"https://github.com/nbarrett/ngx-ramblers/issues/12\">ref #12</a></h1>\n<h2><a href=\"https://github.com/nbarrett/ngx-ramblers/actions/runs/22788982454\">build 511</a> — <a href=\"https://github.com/nbarrett/ngx-ramblers/commit/0e1fd12ea7e48b2f197f85b8ec63b7ddad466010\">commit 0e1fd12</a></h2>\n<hr>\n<p>New backgrounds album view with smooth crossfade transitions between photos\nand wave-transparency overlays.
