Slideshow Background - Selectable or Solid Black

by **tswhite70** on Sat Nov 13, 2004 7:07 pm

I know this was requested by myself and a couple others a long time ago, but I think it got lost in last server debacle. So I'm reposting.

Is there any way we could have a selectable background during the picture slideshow? Either % transparency on the overlay or just a solid black background?

Having the Xlobby background behind the picture while viewing the slideshow is very distracting from the pictures (vertically oriented ones of course) and kind of ruins the experience.

THANKS!

I agree, Bump. I think solid would be fine.

As a work around:

I created a blank screen called SV and placed a single button in the middle, with a back event. Then I changed my start slideshow event to include a goto SV screen command following the start of the slideshow. Now I have a black background for pictures. click enter once to end the show, and again to return to the navigator screen.

Hope this helps

Bump - since Steven is working on his skin right now I thought it might be time for a bump....

TIA,

ok I'll set it to a solidblack color for now, I do have plans to upgrade the slideshow later on though.
