Slideshow not always starting

[lio]

Two new questions

- How can you choose to have or not the pause when you put the mouse on the slideshow area ?

- When the slideshow is running, another nice possibility could be to have a gradual fader effect on the thumbs, with fade into view on the displayed image or when you put the mouse on it.
It's only an idea, what do you think about it ?

All the best

To get it to not pause, use:

nopause: true

example:

$('.myshow').slideShow({nopause: true});

As for fancy effects for the thumbnails, that's up to you. Because they are simply ordinary HTML, these may be accomplished in any fashion that you choose. The one caveat being that if you use random (depending upon how the effects are assigned to the thumbnails), you may need to use the oninit or onrandinit property of the slide show to set them up.

Here's a demo of using jQuery and a bit of css to add a fade effect to the thumbs:
