Fullscreen Background Slideshow Plugin

BuildInternet brings us a super-stylish “supersize” plugin for full-screen slideshows of background images. The supersize plugin is robust and feature-packed, resizing images to full-browser dimensions while maintaining the proper aspect ratio and cycling through background images in smooth slideshow fashion. Plus, navigational controls enable the user to pause, play, and go forward or backward through the images.

Supersized makes it super-easy to deliver fullscreen background slideshows with plenty of options for custom configuration:

  • startwidth, startheight – width/height for resizing ratio calculation
  • vertical_center – toggles centering of images in vertical fashion
  • slideshow – toggles slideshow; includes captions, counters & nav
  • navigation – toggles navigation; configurable with custom images
  • transition – transition effects include slide-ins, fades, or nothing
  • pause_hover – pauses slideshow while current image hovered over
  • slide_counter – toggles display of slide counter
  • slide_captions – toggles slide captions
  • slide_interval – time between slide changes in milliseconds

No explicit usage instructions are found on the plugin’s official project page, but several demos are available that should provide everything you need via the source code. Below is a link to the default demo, the others are available at the bottom of the documentation page.
