Overview
Slideshow background adds a full size, smooth transition slideshow to the background of a WordPress site. Images can be selected from the media library or uploaded via drag-and-drop. Every page load will begin at a random position in the image loop so that users are not presented with the same start image every page change.
Additionally, the images maintain their aspects ratios during resize and turn off for mobile users.
