I’m trying Easy Slider Pro for the dissolves in the header and am getting a smooth transition with no flashing or brighten. I’m having other issues with the plug-in, but I wanted you to see the smooth transition it’s giving me. See the test page. So it is possible in WordPress to have a non-brightening fade transition. Let me know if you’re able to do this in URS!

Hi Frank,

Ok, I think I understand. If I used any Fade effect I have to live with a brightening during the transition. I’ll have to think about it. FadeDuration 0 is too abrupt.

If you think of a way to modify the fade effect let me know. For now, I may put this idea aside.

May I ask another question? If you look at my website, you’ll see a sidebar widget showing faces of students who have learned to ride.

(Photo changes every 7 seconds. Caption doesn’t start until 2nd image)

Each photo a small caption appear below the photo. I tried using URS but could not reposition the caption. (See the widget on our test page).

Are there controls for caption position that I did not see?

Thanks for your continued support.

Hi Frank!

Editing the plug in was a breeze thanks to your detailed instructions. Thank you!

I changed the transition to 2000 millsecs and that transition speed is what I was hoping for.

However, the “brightening” of the image during the transition remains an issue. My intent is to show a number of nearly identical banner designs with only a small detail changing for each variation. I don’t want the viewer’s eye to be drawn to the header by animation. I only want to quietly change the version without them noticing. In this way, they will see different versions over time, without the animation pulling them out of the rest of the page’s content.

Have a look:

Ok Threadi, thanks.

The Graphene forum looks like a ghost town: Last posts were 3, then 9 months ago.
