You're absolutely right. I messed up a bit with the <head> name with some of the tweaks. Now they'll also work if placed on the pasteboard next to the page with the slideshow. Sorry about that.

Steve, I want to re-upload the .zip file and attach it to the first post but I can no longer edit that post.

You can send it to me and I'll re attached the zip to the first post.

I saw Highside website, and I love the way it behaves.

I need help ( need a tutorial, movie if possible ) how to use the Tweaks. A sample should do it.

Congratulations all, and thank you.

Did you read the ReadMe file in the .zip folder?

Here are some of the directions:
"You can have the tweaks included in the Designs Gallery by clicking the "Disc Designs" button on top of this gallery. Browse to where you saved the tweaks folder on your hard disk and open the folder. Even though you don't see anything, click "Add". Now, the tweaks will be accessible through the Designs Gallery.

To use a tweak, drag & drop it onto the MouseOff layer of your web design and place it on the pasteboard next to the page on which you have an image gallery."

Perhaps you're also interested in the HS language tweaks. See the first two posts of this thread: http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=44845.

Thank you Boy. You have been very helpful.

I thought by Caption you meant Pop-Up Title, DOH!

All working now with <head>, except that for numbering I changed "heading" to "caption" and the numbers appeared top-right

If you remove the caption align tweak, the numbers will appear at the bottom (= "caption" in Highslide parlance).

Thank you Boy, very much appreciated

'Caption' = 'Bottom' eh ... makes sense now you say it, but no wonder I can never quite fathom these things

Folks, I must say that I'm a bit surprised that there's not more interest in the Highslide tweaks that I attached to the first post of this thread. I imagined that the ability to customize your slideshows a little bit more would be met with more curiosity than it has. Even John (covoxer) was silent

.

Anyway, I prepared a few more that I zipped up and attached to this post (see enclosed ReadMe file for directions):
HS BG Dimming Delay.xar -- allows you to set the fading speed at which the background behind the popup is being displayed (and removed when closing the popup);
HS Image Transitions.xar -- this tweak changes the default transition between images to fast fly-ins and fly-outs;
HS Title Position.xar -- allows you to change the position of the image title to: "above" (default), "top", "bottom" and "middle". As second value you can add "left", "right" or "center" (e.g., "top, right");
HS Title Visible.xar -- setting the value to "false" makes the image title on the popup permanently visible;
HS Title Visible Off.xar -- setting the value to "true" (default value) requires the cursor to be over the popup image in order for the title to be visible.

These are probably the last ones that I'll prepare, as I believe I have exhausted the available code that works in XWD6. For those who have missed them, a few days ago I also posted some language tweaks with which you can localize the control tips for the Highslide slideshow player: http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=44845

Enjoy!
