 * Hi Josh.
    Thanks for the tips and link. I downloaded the caption skin and added
   the files as recommended, but have not been able to create the effect yet 🙁 
   Most likely I have overlooked something. I manually added the code to line 162
   in my media-slideshow.php, just above the closing slides tag, and also checked
   the css code. I believe it should be possible to change size and form of the 
   caption layer easily. How do edit the text for the transparent layer? And do 
   I have to add more code to allow multiple lines of text? The Compass them (inkthemes.
   com) that I use originally works with the slit slider – which I chose, because
   it has a very userfriendly and functional caption section in the template. Alas,
   I was not aware that the slider comes only with preset effects, and does not 
   allow desolves between slides (which I want on my website). Now I miss the text
   layer… Unfortunately, I am not confident adding and editing the necessary code
   and will need more guidance to get it to work. Ideally, the caption section will
   cover about 50% of the screen (left half) and about 60% from bottom to top. As
   I’ve described earler, text should fade in and fade, before slides change. This
   is most likely beyond the kind of assistance you usually give, but I dare ask
   you… If you have the appropriate code at hand, and will tell me where to integrate
   it with my plugin editor, I would appreciate it very much. Thanks, Mark
