    Just bought Mono. Great app! Thanks.
    I read in another thread that you can't do a transparent background. Can you add an image in the background?
    The white bars don't blend in that well with my website and I'm trying to find a way around it.

    Thanks!

    There's no support for a background image. You can however give your background another color.

    Hi Monokai,

    I'm looking for where to change the background color around an image (as the slideshow plays). I see to reference to this in Main attributes...? I get a middle grey box around the image now that I'd like to re-assign to another color. I'm looking through the manual, but don't see where to adjust this.

    Any help much appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Just put this in the preferences tag:
    <code>backgroundColor = "ffffff"</code>

    Huh. I have done so, but the background around images in a gallery are still a different colour from that in the CSS box that Monoslideshow is presented in. The background is several shades a grey lighter than the CSS background - despite both monoslideshow prefs and the CSS for the layer being the same HEX values.

    Hi Monakai,

    I have just set up Monoslideshow through Expression Engine and have it running fine. The only problem is that regardless of what I set my background colour to in the prefences it always shows up white. Can you guide me as to what is going on? It displays perfectly on the demo page, I donwload the XML, include it in my page and it still display white.

    Thanks in advance.

    Basically you have to declare the background color twice. In the SWFObject embed script, and in the XML. I know this isn't exactly elegant, but currently there's no other way.

    Hello Monokai,

    I'm currently having the same issue as 'paulgalatis'. Can you show us what exactly that declaration looks like in code. More specifically within the following for Wordpress:

    <code>[kml_flashembed movie="http://localhost:8888/wordpress/wp-content/monoslideshow/monoslideshow.swf"
    base="http://localhost:8888/wordpress/wp-content/monoslideshow/" height="370" width="490" fvars="showLogo=false" /]</code>

    Tried the following and still no-go.

    <code>[kml_flashembed movie="http://localhost:8888/wordpress/wp-content/monoslideshow/monoslideshow.swf"
    base="http://localhost:8888/wordpress/wp-content/monoslideshow/" height="370" width="490"
    fvars="showLogo=false; backgroundColor=000000" /]</code>

    I get the desired black background in album view but not image view.

    Thanks for a great product.

    Woohoo! For those that care... worked out my problem declaring background color like this:

    base="http://localhost:8888/wordpress/wp-content/monoslideshow/" height="355" width="490"
