WP New Carousels – Wish list for new features

I’ve spent a few days searching for a slideshow suitable for my needs, and I’m really impressed with WPNewCarousels. It has tremendous advantages over many others:
1) It’s incredibly lightweight.
2) It has a very intuitive, user-friendly interface.
3) The slides themselves are surrounded by a subtle shadow border that makes them stand out as they should from the theme background.
4) It WORKS.

I have a wish list. Would you be able to add the following features?

1) I want my slideshow to resemble the Powerpoint presentation it was taken from, but I haven’t been able to find a plugin that is both lightweight and also has an option to run a slideshow from start to finish with a single click, and stop when it’s done instead of continuing an infinite loop. My slideshow is not a random bunch of images; the slides have text that should be read in order. My visitors are liable to miss the first caption or two if they get caught unawares that a slideshow began before they noticed it was there. I thought of offering the visitor a click on a text link to another page to view the slideshow, but the infinite loop means they are liable to get confused, not recognizing the end of the presentation, and not knowing where to go after they view it.

I understand the idea of making a “child plugin” by copying the file I want to modify from the plugin into my theme folder and making the desired changes there. I’ve already done something similar, changing my theme’s formatting by making a child theme CSS file. However, making changes in the plugin’s programming logic entails altering a PHP file. Since I don’t know PHP, I can’t figure out how to how to make the slides advance automatically ONLY after manual initiation. Can you make an option (via the administration panel) to navigate an entire series of slides with one click?

2) My slides are 300 pixels high and only 400 pixels wide. An obligatory left-justified display of the slideshow leaves the right side of my theme’s 850 pixel content area blank. Some slideshow plugins offer a variety of formatting options on the administration panel such as centering the image, and a choice of right or left justification together with text-wrapping alongside the image. Although this could be done with a “child plugin” CSS file, I think this plugin would be even better if it offered a choice of centering and right or left-justified presentation with text -wrapping via the administration panel.

3) Most plugins offer a widget to enable placement of the slideshow in the theme’s sidebar, so the content area alongside the slideshow can contain text. I think this plugin would be even better than it is now if it had a widget.

4) This plugin’s user interface is one of the clearest of the many slideshow plugins I’ve seen. However, there is one small change that could make it even more user-friendly. In the plugin’s administration panel, I found the term “Background” confusing. It took me a few minutes of searching for an “Add Slides” page to realize that the page headed “Background” must be where one adds slides. I think it would be an improvement to change the term “Background” to “Slides”.
