Slideshow coding problem

[ekimeno]

Please check out the following link...

I can't get the black background out of the slideshow... I wouldn't have this problem if all the images were in landscape, then I'd just change the last few lines of code to size the show to 800 x 520, but because some of the shots are in portrait, I've had to change the code to 800 x 800, thus giving me a black background.

There is a bit of code in there to change the background colour, but my website background is not 'normal' grey - it's a couple of shades darker I think... Any help or advice would be most appreciated!

get the background color from the css of the webpage?

Sorry, I think the slideshow is in javascript. I'm a complete newb at coding and just find myself grabbing bits of code from here and there to try and get stuff working :bonk:

Where would I find the colour I used for the website background in the code? The app I used to make the site is iWeb, but the slideshow is a bit of free javascript I picked up somewhere...

Hiya,

In widget0_markup.html change the line at the top from:

var fadebgcolor="black"

to

var fadebgcolor="transparent"

I only looked for a second - but think that should do the job. Let us know if not.

Thanks TomWoozle - that made the background transparent, though now you can see the next image loading behind the one you're currently viewing... any idea how to prevent this?
