   Hi. Thanks for the great slideshow. Is there a way to change the parameters so the blinds go left-to-right. Can I set them to change a little slower.

   Thank you.

   Hi Paul,

   Thanks for your comment.
   These are the parameters you can set for the script.

   
$('.slideshow').blinds({
h_res: 10,
v_res: 1,
tile_orchestration: function (x, y, total_x, total_y) {
return x*100;
}
});


   h_res: number of tiles horizontally
   v_res: number of tiles vertically
   tile_orchestration: function that returns how much time will x,y tile take to fade (if you want it slower just set a larger multiplier).

   Hello Andres,

   I think you misunderstood the plugin’s purpose.
   This is a slideshow plugin, meaning that you provide some images and it displays them as a slideshow.

   CSS sprites are used to cut the images into parts and do the animation that it does.

   Without javascript it cant do any of the above, so your browser just renders your HTML as it is.

   Thanks for trying out the plugin.

   How do you setup multiple instances on the same page? I can’t seem to create separate arrays, and the images keep overwriting.

   Thanks for the great plugin!

   Is there a way to make this blinds transition play automatically? I want to put a timer for each pictures let’s say… around 2 seconds (2000).

   @ShinKaiZen

   You could do that if you set your own timer and counter, but it is a bit complicated.

   I’ll be posting a new release when I make time for this and this feature will be included in it.
