Two transparent boxes mask the picture which extends way down to the film strip area. These boxes replaces the left and right arrow that controls navigation of pictures to be shown. I don’t like this feature. Now my visitors will be unable to download the pictures. If they right-click on the picture to save it to their computer, what they actually save is the transparent box (png) masking the picture. If this feature has to stay, can the developer please include a “Download this picture” button, perhaps right beside the “Start Slideshow” button.

Well it’s not very transparent if I can see it 😛
It is just another the way that you can browse through the photos. Clicking the left half brings you one back, clicking right half: next.
If you configure the height properly (Table I item 3) it will not cover the the filmstrip etc.
I will make this feature optional in the next rev (4.0.1) and will add some inline css to prevent the box appearing (what only happens on some themes)
Some users asked for this browsing method, some users like the non-stealability, but some dont. Please wait a few hours and you will habe 4.0.1
It is there in version 4.0.1, Table II item 19, default setting: off.
Have fun.

I like the idea a lot, the box showing up just threw me off. 🙂

opajaap is there an easy way to determine what the proper height setting should be? (Table I Item 3)
If you have both portrait and landscape photos of, say 640 x 480, set it to 640.
If you have only landscape set it to 480.
If you set it too big and use V align fit (Table IV item 1), you will get overlap.
My advice is in such a case: set it to 640 and set V align to center.
V align fit will change the layout annoyingly when a slideshow runs with differently shaped pictures and the use of it is therefor discouraged.
