Nivo Slider Review by Günter Schenk
Nivo Slider driven slideshow in less than 5 minutes
In this review Günter Schenk will investigate the quality and usage of the DMXzone Nivo Slider from DMXzone. He will show you how to create a Nivo Slider driven slideshow in less than 5 minutes.
Example : modifying the Caption styles
If you´re like me, one of the very first details you want to adapt to your page
design is the default appearance of the slideshow captions. When implementing
the slideshow into the page I had no idea about where to start, but thanks to
Dreamweavers awesome "Live Code" and "Live View" features I happened to identify
three CSS classes starting with – please don´t laugh - "nivo-caption":
Well, although I could have come to this conclusion just by staring at these class names, I admit that I didn´t, because at this early stage I was pretty unoriented, Why am I saying this ? When starting to rework the Nivo Slider CSS files for the very first time, many of you will be in the same boat and may well be confused too. My advice: it´s an unconversant "system", which might take you a while to get into, and in case of hardship Dreamweavers "Live Code" and "Live View" features are indeed incredibly helpful.
That´s it, and I hope you enjoyed this review !
