white background, Fade?, show stopping

Oh, and since the option for the shadows is controlled by a single CSS file with a generic selector, having it as a parameter on the shortcode means that the first slider on a page that doesn’t want shadows will affect all other sliders on the page.

I didn’t see anything in the documentation for the shadow being global only. It seems like it should be an option per slider.

I obviously did want to use a float for the speed, since I found it easily. I wanted 3.5 instead of 3. It’s an easy change from using intval to floatval.

The background color fix does work…I put it in my test page.

A different test with the same browser (and theme) gave me different results. The fade and vertical transitions worked fine. I don’t know what was happening on the one that was weird.

The background color fix looks good until I try to add the shadow. Then there is a 5px white border with a faint light gray shadow. The problem is that the border and shadow are on the viewport, not the image and since the image can be smaller than the viewport, it looks awful.
See screenshot here, which has a content area of 675px and images that are 650px. The shortcodes used:

[folderslider folder="wp-content/uploads/tour" shadow=true]
[folderslider folder="wp-content/uploads/tour" width=650]

I didn’t want to have to put the width on there, but if I didn’t it’s not centered and the caption background is wider than the image and the right arrow is off the image (unlike the left arrow).

Yes, they are all 650px.

It apparently needs a big enough window to give the image room to expand.
I put it on a site I’m building, and made the sidebar small so it’s obvious. If you don’t see it, make your window wider.

I tried it first on my local test site, which I had switched to an older theme. It looks like it is still having the problem there, and in addition the image captions extend past the image. Screenshot is here.

When I put the new version on the site I posted before, it looks fine, even the captions.

What I don’t understand is why call it a shadow when it’s a border and almost invisible shadow? Can you get rid of the white border and just do a more visible shadow?

I loaded the same old theme from my local site to the site previously mentioned, and it is showing the same problem. Not only is the “shadow” bigger than the image, but the caption is also and the pause button is covered up. I made no change to the slider shortcodes.
This old theme has a max-width of 640px on images, instead of a percentage. That’s causing the problem, since it causes the gap between the image and the viewport, and the caption has width:100%.
The pause button has bottom:-30px, so it makes sense it would be covered by the second slider, but it was not covered with the other theme.

I suggest you either make the shadow option look like a shadow, or rename it to border. Obviously, people can change their own CSS, but the plugin option should be consistent with its name.
