Speed adjustment for slideshow

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hey Bambooers...
So I'm using slideshow hero and for the life of me I can't find where I can adjust the speed of the slides..

I have my source as joomla articles, have title, image, and intro text selected.

Also, is there anyway to adjust the area behind the intro text and title so that there is maybe an overlay behind it? Something to make the text pop out some more.

Thanks!

Hi Douglas,

Do you see the series of time options under module layout and settings?

For the first part of the question

Cheers

Hi Douglas,

Well I thought I was :dry: ... I was on 2.3.2 and I just put in 2.3.3 and the timers showed up, so one issue fixed, thanks!

How about adjusting the transparency of the overlay to better emphasize the text? Any thoughts?

Something like

.zt-title .zt-block, .zt-text-intro {background:red; margin:0;}

.zentools .zt-text-intro.zt-block {margin:0;}

And combine with the module ID

So something into the custom.css like...

#zentools94 .zt-title .zt-block, .zt-text-intro {background:red; margin:0;}

.zentools .zt-text-intro.zt-block {margin:0;}

This doesn't include the readmore

and you would want to use rgba colour value instead of red

yeah, I don't want the read more to change, and I think I'll need to play with some transparency too...

Spoke too soon...
It is not isolating it to id=94... if you scroll down to the "visit us" section where there is another zentools2 module (id=101), it is changing that color as well.

You have

#zentools-94 .zt-title .zt-block, .zt-text-intro {background:#757777; margin:0;}

#zentools-94 .zentools .zt-text-intro.zt-block {margin:0;}

you need

#zentools-94 .zt-title .zt-block, #zentools-94 .zt-text-intro {background: #757777; margin:0;}

#zentools-94 .zentools .zt-text-intro.zt-block {margin:0;}
