    2. Slider:
      • Color under title – It will make background under title text on slides. Gives fancy effect.
      • Fit images – you can use auto(Fit always) or decide in which way images should be stretched to fill screen.
        Fit when needed is best for small images, that shouldn’t be stretched to bigger sizes, only to smaller(to keep them visible).
        However Cover whole screen is best options in most cases.
      • Autoplay – If autoplay is on, slider items will start sliding on page load.
      • Transition type – 4 types: Carousel, Fade and no transition. Also Zooming known better as Ken Burns Effect.
      • Gradient above photos – Good for better readability of slide titles.
      • Pattern above photos – Used for masking and some darkening.
      • List of Thumbs – Enable/disable and decide should it be visible on page load.
    3. Only for albums. Scroller/Scroller parallax – works only with images:
      • Cell width – how wide will be each image.
      • Cell width on mobile – same as above, but will switch on devices with width less then 600px
        Effect on not active elements – Please use with caution! CSS transitions on filters(effects) can choke any browser. Use only on small albums(<10 images). Effects are switched off for devices with resolution lower then 1024px, as they usually don’t have enough power to animate them.
      • Cell margin – Space between cells.
      • Cover or contain opened photos? – When photo is opened to full width, should it contain(whole photo visible) in cell or cover it(whole area covered by photo).
      • Wrap around – At the end of cells, wrap-around to the other end for infinite scrolling.
      • Free scroll – Enables content to be freely scrolled and flicked without aligning cells to an end position.
      • Autoplay – Automatically advances to the next cell. There is also option for time delay, and to pause it on hover.
