title overlay in zentools slideshow

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

Hello,
in most demo sites showing zentools slideshows image titles are displayed with semitransparent background. However, when I create a slideshow (based on images in a directory) the title is displaced without such a background on top of the image (when applying the title overlay option). This semitransparent background however is important for me, because without it the title text is less readable. Is this issue a matter of the settings in the zentool module or is it a matter of the template?

Best wishes from Germany,
Michael

What slideshow theme are you using in zentools?

Are you currently in the standard layout?

Hi Paul,
I'm currently using the layout type "slideshow". However I played a little bit around with it. The items I use are "image", "title" and "column2" (exactly in that order).

Cheers

The slideshow are available in different types - overlay, standard, flat and a few more

Its the first setting on the slideshow setting tab - you want either overlay or overlay frame?

Cheers

Dear Paul,
I have choosen "overlay" which fits nearly nice. However, the title text is placed on top of the bottom of the image without an underlying half transparent bar/band which is visible in nearly all demo slideshows on the zentool demo page.

Cheers,
Michael

Hi Paul,
The site is yet locally under development using MAMP. So, all I could do is giving you access via TeamViewer.

Cheers,
Michael

So, if TeamViewer would be an option, we have to make an appointment. However, the next few ours I'm not online. Anyway, thanks for your help in advance!

Best wishes,
Michael

Its not really a good option for us

Can you perhaps get back to us when the site is online or you are able to create a ticket if you need private access

Thanks
