hi i would like fade or dissolvence effect between pages of my website. but with the same colors of background pages, in order to make the visitor believe that it is a single page that it is visiting like in this website http://steveroach.life/ or such as a similar….have this plugin this effect (fade, dissolvence, ...)between pages?
Hello,
No, it is working with images only.

Sorry for the question, is that possible to have multiple slide? In the exemple there is only one slide,, maybe I don’t have a good view ^^
Thanks for your return
Hello,
If you mean more images in the same slider, then yes. However, the most of the slider animations using transition effect, you can customize the animations to get your desired one.

Hi pantherius,
Nice script.i purchased it and installed all features on wordpress except social networks icons .
please tell me how to install social networks icons like in demo?

Hello,
Thank you!
The social network icons doesn’t part of the plugin since these are marketing elements on the demo website only.

Hi, How can I have text on top of the images without using embedding it in the list tag?
never mind, changed the z-index
Hello,
Great to hear that, you already solved it.

Just curious… the changelog on the product page shows version 1.5, but the download says 1.4 which seems to have been skipped as the same changelog goes from 1.3 to 1.5.
Hello,
The downloadable file contains the 1.5 files (latest version) just the changelog file has been not refreshed in the ZIP. The 1.4 was a non-released local version, it is the reason it is seems to be skipped. So, the 1.5 changelog provides the 1.4 and the 1.5 changes on the item’s page.

Hi,
Our one of slide is Google calendar page.
Can we insert Google calendar in the slideshow?
Can we set the preview slide image on bottom of the page?
Thanks!
Hello HeeHA,
It is possible to use images only in the slider. Thumbnail selector is not a feature at the moment.

Hi is it possible to use a video source (mp4/webm) instead of an image with this?
Hello surrealroad,
No, it is not a feature at the moment, but it is a really good idea. I’ll considering to add this in one of the next releases.
Kind regards,
Pantherius
Thanks. I will maybe dive into the code in the meantime to see if I can make it work. Thanks!
You’re welcome. If you have any questions with that, just let me know!

Hi Pantherius, actually a different question- some of my divs seem to be obscured (behind) the image, what do I need to check to fix this?
never mind—looks like position: relative and z-index:1 does the trick
Hello,
Yes, you can fix it with increasing the z-index value.

Sorry to bombard you with questions- I was wondering if there’s a simple way to allow me to have the slides clickable so they can act as links somehow? I tried wrapping anchors around them but it didn’t work.
No problem.
The simplest method to add onclick event to the inner span:
<ul class="fsb-slider">
<li><span onclick="location.href='url1'"><img src="images/1.jpg" /></span></li>
<li><span onclick="location.href='url2'"><img src="images/2.jpg" /></span></li>
<li><span onclick="location.href='url3'"><img src="images/4.jpg" /></span></li>
<li><span onclick="location.href='url4'"><img src="images/3.jpg" /></span></li>
</ul>
In this case, you need to change the z-index for the spans:
.fsb-slider li span {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
color: transparent;
background-size: cover;
background-position: 50% 50%;
background-repeat: none;
opacity: 0;
z-index: 9999;
-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
}
Find this part in full_screen_background_slider.css on line 161.

awesome! thanks for the comprehensive and fast reply!
You’re very welcome!
Nice slider! On crossfade, how can you make the crossfade animation time short, but increase the time the current slide stays up before the next animation starts to the next slide? Something like a CROSSFADE transition of 2 or 3 seconds, and then KEEP that slide up at an opacity of 1.0 for, say 15 or 20 seconds BEFORE the transition starts to the next slide? Currently, it seems to be unending transitions…with no break between the next transition. Thank you for your reply!
Let me simplify what I’m saying above: You can set the animation time, but I don’t see any way to set the time duration between slides. Thanks again.
O.K., I think I get the idea now of what you can do to make the above happen in the animation span, something like this with the animation set to 90 for example:
@keyframes crossfade {
0% { opacity: 0; }
10% { opacity: 1; }
25% { opacity: 1; }
30% { opacity: 0; }
100% { opacity: 0 }
}
Hello JerryOne4,
Sorry, it was a night here. Yes, you can modify the keyframes in the CSS file.
Kind regards,
Pantherius
Thanks for your reply. What I found out was that you set both the transition time and duration of the slides by adjusting the crossfade css.
Best regards,
Jerry
Exactly, customization is possible by editing the animation in the CSS file.

I have many images in MySql database, can I connect it to your slider?
Hello sambuev,
The plugin needs the following HTML markup:
<ul class="fsb-slider">
<li><span><img src="images/1.jpg"></span></li>
<li><span><img src="images/2.jpg"></span></li>
<li><span><img src="images/4.jpg"></span></li>
<li><span><img src="images/3.jpg"></span></li>
</ul>
It doesn’t matter you create this markup as a static HTML or generate it with PHP from your database.
The fact, how to create this markup is not related with the plugin, so yes, you can create the slides from a database.
Best regards,
Pantherius
Hi, So far i LOVE the slide. Just want to ask how can i change the speed of the transitions and where do i change the type of animation?
Hello 5dportal,
Happy to hear that!
You can pass parameters with the initialization:
<script type='text/javascript'>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('.fsb-slider').fsbslider({"animation_time":10,"animation_type":"crossfade","pattern":false, "fontfamily":"Akronim", "control":true});
});
</script>
You can find more examples and informations in the documentation in the ZIP file.
Alternatively, all animations can be deeply customized via the CSS file as well (full_screen_background_slider.css)

Pantherius
Got it. Now ONLY issue i have that i hope there is a fix is this, I created a blank website with just THIS slider and 1 HTML5 Music Player with playlist from this website also. Now on Desktop/Laptop the slider works great and the music player also. BUT when im on my NOTE3 or any mobile device, your slider makes the music player LAG and the responsive is not as fast and smooth as if i take your slider off. Without your slider,on mobile the player works smooth and very responsive. and i only have 3images transitioning and i have made them the smallest i can on size, each image i about 30KB-80KB. Anything i can do to make your slider not smoother or lighter i gues so it wont make my music player lag on mobile devices???
First of all, you have to know, any fullscreen slider combined with an audio player causing high load on mobiles. Mobiles has a smaller CPU and RAM therefore can’t able to display anything such on PC.
This Fullscreen Background Slider made for the best performance, using Hardware Accelerated CSS3 animations instead of jQuery animations. You can try to reduce the CSS file size with deleting unused animations, but I’m not sure that will solve the issue.
Tablets and Mobiles has different CPU/RAM so you may try out on few other devices as well. I don’t know which audio player you using, but we can reverse the problem. Probably the slider works well without the audio player, then maybe the player causing performance issues. Did you try it with any other audio plugin? Could you inform me the JavaScript/CSS file size of that plugin, please?
Best regards,
Pantherius
The player im using is “MP3 Sticky Player” is a great smooth responsive player and works great on desktop and mobile. Only issue is the lagging of the player when mobile when combined with your slider, Is not the BIG lag but i rather make it smoother. So you believe by removing the extra animations on the CSS file would help since i am only using the crossfade? It will shrink the css file size it might help.
You can give it a try.
I have no doubt that is a great player, just it is a special situation. Therefore could you tell me please the JavaScript file size of the Audio Player Plugin? If the size is below 25-30kB, the issue may caused by the large CSS file of the slider. Then removing the other animations except the crossfade might help.
Dropped the CSS from 136KB to 6.84KB and still same performence, i left the CSS with just the crossfade effect.
Could you tell me please the JavaScript file size of the Audio Player Plugin? Could you try out on any other mobile device?
If you referring to the “FWDMSP.js” file inside the “Java” folder of the player. That file is 410KB. The player also has a “js” folder with 32 js files in there. Each file diffrent sizes.
I don’t know the plugin, but if it using the file with 410KB that really huge. The minified JS file of the slider only ~15Kb, so I’m not sure the slider causing the higher load.
Last option to try using the unminified version of the Background Slider (use full_screen_background_slider.js instead of fsbs.min.js)
Ill leave it the way it is i guess. has to be the player then cause i dropped your CSS to 6.84KB with only the crossfade effect and with a file that small everything should run smooth. Great slider by the way,keep up the great work. Will Rate Now 
Thank you, really appreciated!
Search for the string ‘mobile’ in the comments section of the audio player plugin and you may find the answer.

Pantherius
Hi. The images get a bit darker in the slider (using corssfade), any fastfix to show the image in normal colormode/light?
Thank you for the script!
Hello Designspire,
You’re welcome! The plugin doesn’t have an image manipulation that can cause darker effect, maybe you have a darker layer in front the image. Could you send me your URL via my profile page mail sender, please? I’ll check it on your website.
Thank you!
Best regards,
Pantherius
Hi,
Just realized, the body has a black background on my demo site, when you switch off this parameter via CSS, the images becomes lighter. Caused by the transparent attribute of the slider / animation.
You can search for:
body {
background: #000000;
...
in the style.css
Kind regards,
Pantherius
Thanks for the great support by email. 5star

Hi, I have to say this slider is pretty amazing! My question is how exactly do you change the pattern in the slider. Thanks!
Hello cgarcia2595,
Thank you! It is quite simple, just specify the pattern during the initialization:
<script type='text/javascript'>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('.fsb-slider').fsbslider({"animation_time":30,"animation_type":"crossfade","pattern":"pattern2","fontfamily":"Alex Brush","control":true});// Configuration
});
</script>
You can use pattern, pattern1-pattern20 values.
Best regards,

Hi, someone asked a similar question before but I don’t think theres a clear answer here for it yet. Crossfade: I’d like a pause between the fades. In other words, an image fades in completely (100%) and then the whole animation pauses for 3-4 sec before the 2nd image crossfades over the first and so on. Hope that’s possible. Thanks.
Hello rotscha,
Yes, it is possible with customizing the animation.
Edit the full_screen_background_slider.css, just search for the animation name (crossfade), you’ll find 5 part with that name in the style file. (you need to modify each for the different browsers)
For example, add:
25% { opacity: 0.5; -webkit-transform: scale(1.1) rotate(3deg); }
after the 17%, but note that, you have to reedit all transform attributes to each version. (-moz, -o, etc.)
I hope it is clear enough, if you have any difficulties with that, please send me a message via my profile page mail sender and I’ll do it for you.
Kind regards,
Pantherius
Thanks for the quick reply. I looked at the CSS before but can’t quite figure out how to achieve what I need. I applied your example which doesn’t quite work for two reasons: 1. The pause happens before the second image is at 100% opacity 2. I can still see the first image (maybe at 10%) during this pause. Also the pause is not long enough. The fade itself should still be quick as is. Just the pause should be longer (3-4 sec).
Please check out this one:
@-webkit-keyframes crossfade {
0% {
opacity: 0;
-webkit-animation-timing-function: ease-in;
}
8% {
opacity: 0.2;
-webkit-transform: scale(1.05);
-webkit-animation-timing-function: ease-out;
}
17% {
opacity: 0.5;
-webkit-transform: scale(1.1) rotate(3deg);
}
25% {
opacity: 0.5;
-webkit-transform: scale(1.1) rotate(3deg);
}
26% {
opacity: 0;
-webkit-transform: scale(1.1) rotate(3deg);
}
100% { opacity: 0 }
}
It only one from the 5, you can see the changes in Chrome. The other ones almost the same, just replace webkit to moz, ie, etc. Maybe you need some fine tune, but I guess it is very close what you need.
Best regards,
Pantherius
As I said it needs some fine-tune, I just wanted to show the how-to for you.
Please try out this effect and let me know how do you like it:
@-webkit-keyframes crossfade {
0% {
opacity: 0;
}
20% {
opacity: 1;
}
28% {
opacity: 0;
}
100% { opacity: 0 }
}
Feel free to play with the opacity and percentage values, if the animation doesn’t fit perfectly to your needs. The new slide coming in around 30%, so if you would like to hide the previous one, you have to do it before 30%. (in this case with opacity: 0)
Kind regards,
Pantherius

Hi, Is it possible to keep the full image when its portrait? e.g. Scale it down instead of cropping it? Thanks
Hello zenaryle,
Currently, it is not a feature, but I’m already thinking on the solution. You can set the background-size in CSS to ‘contain’ instead of ‘cover’, but that will causing repeated backgrounds. When I’ll found the best solution for this, I will add it to the plugin.
Regards,
Pantherius
Great product it works perfect and really easy. Only one question how can i edit the time between the background slide. I want the animation time to be short and that is working by edit the animation_time but how can i edit the delay / pauze time after all the effects. Im looking forward to your response!
Hello konesmedia,
Thank you!
Edit the full_screen_background_slider.css to modify the animation time between two transitions.
Just search for the animation name, you’ll find 5 part with that name in the style file. (you’ll need to modify each for the different browsers)
In that case to pause animations a little, add:
25% {
opacity: 0.5;
-webkit-transform: scale(1.1) rotate(3deg);
}
You can also delete some percentage to make it shorter.
after the 17%, but note that, you have to reedit -webkit-transform, transform, etc. to each version.
Kind regards,
Pantherius
Thanks for your quick response but im a afraid that’s not what my questions was. The transitions effect is crossfade and the time is perfect. But after the 35 procent when the image is perfectly show i want to have a pauze of 4 seconds where the background image stand still and after the 4 seconds the image will fade into the new upcoming image. I hope im being clear…
Yes, it was only an example how you can modify each of the animations.
You can try out to add:
50% {
opacity: 0.7;
transform: scale(1.2) rotate(3deg);
}
It will results to pause the animation between 35 and 50 percents.

Can you update the slider via Ajax? I can handle the ajax, just want to see if the slideshow can be updated. Can it handle hundreds of images? Can it handle multiple ratios? Like keep the landscape photos landscape and the portrait photos portrait without cropping or scaling them?
Hello jmascis,
You can use AJAX to update a part of the website using PHP.
It’s a jQuery/Javascript plugin doesn’t use PHP, so you can update the slider with simple jQuery/Javascript with init and destroy functions.
It can handle any number of images, but I don’t recommend to use more than ten, because hundreds of images will slow down your website. The browsers can’t handle it.
It is always fit to screen with cropping the images. There is no other options to make it always fit the actual resolution.
Kind regards,

Hi, Pre-purchase questions- 1. Can I select which pages I want this to appear on? Or does it apply to my whole site? 2. Does it work with Wordpress theme? 3.If I want it on my homepage is it easy to add text areas (for logo, navigation menu & intro text? Thanks in advance, Patrick.
Hi Patrick,
1. It is depends on how to integrate it to your website. You can include it to all pages or only one. If you using HTML website, you can simply integrate to the specified pages. With PHP based website, you can include a simple PHP condition to control where you would like to display. So these aren’t depends on the plugin.
2. With some technical knowledge, you can also integrate the required files to a WordPress Theme. It will works well, if the Theme hasn’t a background (background color or background image)
3. Yes, it is a simple HTML question, but the plugin also has a function to display animated,short texts.
If you would like to display any additional elements, you can do it like any other HTML websites.
You’re welcome!
Kind regards,
Pantherius
Do you know of any demos with this slider where there is more text on top of the image? Can the text appear anywhere on the image or only in a prescribed location?
Thanks!
Hello carricdesign,
No, you can see only on the demo site.
You have to specifiy the position of the texts with simple CSS positioning.
Kind regards,
Pantherius
