Hi folks,

Which file(s) controls the fading during the slideshow of this particular gallery generator? During the slideshow, it does this bright white flash before slowly fading into the next picture. It gets annoying if your gallery has 100+ pictures and is very uneasy on the eyes. Any way to change the default white back color to a more soothing color, like black or something else?

I found the folder that contains the control files inside photoshop for this particular gallery:

== Here's the path:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Presets\Web Photo Gallery\Flash - Gallery 1

== Here's the files in it:
Caption.htm
flashobject.js
gallery.swf
gallerconfig.xml
IndexPage.htm
SubPage.htm
Thumbnail.htm

== I've found this file: galleryconfig.xml to be the file that may control the customization of the finalized gallery...I've tested this by editing this line:

!-- hold time between each image --
var symboltype="number" name="showTime" value="1" /

== I've changed the value "4" to a "1" and this shortened the display time of each picture during the slideshow. Now all my final produced slideshows go a lot faster.

== I suspect this line in that same file has what I need, but I am unsure as to what to change in its value, I've put in there: "000000" for black color, but its not working:

!--color (in hex) of the main image preloader--
var symboltype="string" name="imagePreloadColor" value="000000" /

== Please understand I am not trying to change the entire gallary's background color. It is the back color during the fading from one picture to the next when watching the slideshow is what I'm after. I've examined the preliminary configuration window in Photoshop before editing these files and couldn't find what i need there. I've also searched the forums here and didn't find anything related, also tried the help docs in Photoshop as well.

Thanks in advance for anything you folks can think of, this was too long of an explaination for phone support. But if I don't get anything here, that would be my last resort. I'll be sure to post the results if I go that route. THanks again.
