Camera theme for WeaverPix
Introduction
You will struggle to find a slideshow addon for RapidWeaver which is as feature-rich and as beautiful as the Camera theme for WeaverPix! Camera gives you several dozen settings, to customize the slideshow appearance and behaviour; but not too many settings that it becomes impossibly difficult to use. This WeaverPix theme is fully responsive, and will fit snuggly into just about any header, banner, content, ExtraContent or sidebar region in a page. Gorgeous animation effects and swipe support on compatible touch devices give this slideshow plugin an edge over all others. Rich-text captions are displayed over images in attractive animated boxes. Camera also supports thumbnail images; displayed either above the pagination bullets on hover, or below the main slideshow container (if pagination is turned off).
For best results, ensure that enough space is provided for the thumbnail images to display. Some RapidWeaver themes and all stacks crop overflowing content, using the CSS overflow:hidden. To avoid thumbnail images getting cropped, design your pages with plenty of space around thumbnails.
Key features
- Combines both a slideshow and thumbnail images. Thumbnail images display when you hover over pagination bullets, or will display below the slideshow if the pagination bullets are turned off.
- Camera provides one of the widest choices of animation effects, allowing you to easily build richly-engaging slideshows.
- Rich-text captions will be displayed in boxes over each image. Caption boxes are automatically hidden on images without caption content.
- Flick-through the slideshow using swipe finger gestures on your iOS or Android device. Use pagination bullets or buttons on regular desktop web browsers.
- Camera uses the latest HTML5, CSS and jQuery Javascript techniques. This gives you a slideshow that is smooth in operation and less resource-thirsty.
