 * Is there a way to add a pause button at the bottom by the gray dots? The next
   and previous buttons are great, but I think a pause would be helpful too.
 * And with the gray dots, is there a way to change the color so they stand out 
   more?
 * Thanks

 * You can replace the graphics or change the design [using a custom stylesheet](http://www.jleuze.com/plugins/meteor-slides/customizing-the-stylesheet/).
   It is possible to add a pause button, but it would be a bit more complicated,
   [here is an example](http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/pause-callback.html).

 * Hi!
    has anything been with this? love this slider, much better than Orbit which
   i thought was the end of all awesomeness in sliders 😉 only thing is, they have
   this cool pause button that shows also how long the slide goes for. any idea 
   about implementing that?
 * i could try to hack at the jquery, not so good yet, maybe you can point me in
   the right direction for a head start?
 * thanks again!

 * You don’t have to hack the jQuery, but it doesn’t include the pause button if
   the shelf, so it does require a bit of customization.
 * To actually add the button, use a [custom slideshow template](http://www.jleuze.com/plugins/meteor-slides/customizing-the-slideshow-template/),
   and style the button using a [custom stylesheet](http://www.jleuze.com/plugins/meteor-slides/customizing-the-stylesheet/).
 * To add the functionality to get that pause button working, take a look at the
   source code of the [pause example](http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/pause-callback.html).
   You don’t have to hack jQuery Cycle to add that, you can use a [custom slideshow script](http://www.jleuze.com/plugins/meteor-slides/customizing-the-slideshow-script/).
