Overview
Note:: Total Slider is not in active development at this time.
Total Slider is a plugin for WordPress from Van Patten Media that helps web developers build sliders that can be easily managed by non-technical users.
Build your own templates in HTML/PHP, CSS, and JavaScript, and Total Slider will supply a WYSIWYG interface designed to blend seamlessly wit the WordPress core.

It does, however, ship with three built-in templates and is very easy to use if you are happy…
