how to create slower mouse over effect on preview image….

Hi,

I’m using the Imbalance theme by WPshower but I just can’t for the life of me figure out how to make this great theme just a bit better.

First, I’d like the posts in the gallery front page to have a slower/smoother transition between thumbnail image and excerpt. Currently on mouse over it is just very quick and “flicky”.

Second, I’d love to show something other than the excerpt on mouse over. Would it be possible to just show an image? To somehow re-direct to an image on mouse-over?

Thanks for anyone taking the time to help out!
