Overlay doesn’t work correctly in background slider extension

    Hi,

    I think there is a bug in the background slider extension, the overlay option does not work correctly, no matter how many times I try to select one of the overlays that appear in the drop-down list, the slider images are always shown the same, without any overlay. However, if I activate the custom overlay option without selecting a color, as soon as I activate it, the overlay starts to work and you can see a kind of grid with dots in the images (although with this option activated, it does not allow you to select another type of overlay style in the drop-down list, since it automatically disappears when the custom overlay option is activated).

    On the other hand, I wanted to take the opportunity to ask you again for an improvement for the background slider extension that I have asked you for a long time but I see that you do not implement, and I think it would be very easy to do. It is about adding an option in the background slider extension that allows the images to be displayed in shuffle mode, that is, in a random way. Please, as I say, I think that this option would cost almost nothing to implement from a technical point of view and would allow to improve the background slider extension.

    Regards.

    Hi Liton,

    Thank you very much for your speed in solving this error. A 10 in support. I have tested it now and it works great.

    Regarding the other topic that I was commenting on, the possibility of implementing an option to display the background slider images randomly. Do you think it could be implemented in the near future?

    In this way, the extension would improve a lot since when the user entered the page they would see different images each time, not as it happens now that they are always repeated in the same order from the beginning.

    At the programming level, I don’t think it’s complicated to implement something like this in JavaScript, it’s just calling the Math.random() function so that it generates a random number to obtain the number of the next image to be displayed from an array where they are stored the images that have not yet been displayed. Every time an image is displayed, it is removed from the array, thus ensuring that the images are not displayed twice within the same batch and at the same time that they will all be displayed. Once all of them have been displayed, the array is refilled with the entire list of images and the process starts again, and so on indefinitely.

    Regards.
