Slideshow

The slideshow options allow you to add some global slideshow options to your site:

The following settings allow you to enable full screen slideshows on mobile (that is full screen height, be aware that your images will be cropped to a portrait format), otherwise you can set the height for the slideshow on mobile (300px recommended). You can also turn on the option to enable autoplay for the slideshow, select the arrow types for navigation. Transition speed and transition effect can also be selected here. If you want to enable pause on mouse hover you can do so (the slideshow will stop autoplay when hovered over). We also have the option to change the text color for the items over menu based on the background image. Finally, if using a visible nearby slideshow (a slideshow with images each side of the main image), you can set the space between images.
