Mootools slideshow background color

Freeway
1

This is probably a bit nitpicky, but my client has asked me for it, and after scanning the js code I haven’t been able to figure it out.

I have Weaver’s fading slidehow set up on the Home page. Just before it loads and starts switching between images a black rectangle appears. My question is, is there a way to change the default background color to white so that it doesn’t appear to show up on our white page background?

The page in question is here:

Thanks!

It looks like you need to edit slideshow.css. The selector
‘.jdGallery .slideElement’ has a default background-color of black,
which gets overridden by the JavaScript once it starts running.

In Safari, enable the Developer tools in the main preferences, then
you can learn these sorts of things by Control-clicking on any element
on the screen.

I think it’s going to be the loadingElement that’s to fault here.

If the action gives you access to this background color though the
actions palette then set it there otherwise either edit the
slideshow.css file manually or add the following CSS markup in Page /
HTML Markup… (at before end head);

<style type="text/css">
<!--
.jdGallery .loadingElement { background-color: transparent; }
-->
</style>

Regards,
Tim.

Tim, that did the trick.

Thanks to you and Walt for your help. This forum is great. I try to give back what I can, but since I’m still learning, I generally receive more than I’m able to contribute. I appreciate everyone’s good faith and willingness to help.
