I have to agree wirh other reviewer: it's a great extension, maybe the best no Flash Joomla slideshow out of there.
Anyway Ken Burns animation is VERY resource consumer: have a look at browser CPU usage and you'll understand why avoid it. So in that case a flash based slideshow (like JSN ImageShow) is still the best choise.

Excellent extension! It has a good number of custom settings and looked very professional. It was very easy to set up.
1. Installed module.
2. Copied the images to a preset directory on the website.
3. Typed in location of preset directory.
4. Enabled module. Voila!! Up and running.
Thanks to the folks at RocketWerx. Great stuff!! Appreciate the work and effort put into this piece.

What a great module. I had the Cycle plugin for JQuery installed but this module doens't have the disadvantage of a screen full of images that are being displayed for a fraction of a second. Very easy to install.
Do not use the jquery library with this module, it will not work.

Found this to be one of the smoothest transitioning slideshows so far, even on slower machines, excelent when used with the code change to alow for multiple instances one a single page, apperently that will be added in a later edition. until then Both thumbs up.

I have tried many slideshows and I REALLY like RokSlideshow. It has many configuration parameters which allow you to personalize your slideshow, at the same time is extremely easy to set up and create new galleries. GREAT JOB!

I tried most of the slideshows that was j1.5 native compatible and found this one was the easiest to setup and use and most effective at running a slideshow.
Two thumbs up for this module.

The module works great, looks great on my site, and did exactly what I wanted. Having the descriptions in individual files for each image is a bit cumbersome, but I won't need to make changes once it is all set up, so manageable. The details on setting things up is a bit above novice and a bit thin, but the forum covers most everything. I will definitely check into their other modules and see if/where I can use them.

I keep getting an overflow error that I narrowed down to this module. I posted 2 posts on the developers web forum and both have gone unanswered. I so much do not like when things are not supported, even if they are free.

This is one STELLAR slideshow module!
Easy to install
Easy to configure
lightweight and reliable - works with any template/menu!
... and one of the best looking fades out there! Most of the other slideshow modules don't really "fade". Instead, they assume you're site has a white background and blow out the previous photo to white, which creates the illustion of 2 photos fading into each other. RokSlideshow actually fades the images together. One gets transparent while the other gets more opaque. It looks gorgeous and opens the possibility for some neat tricks like giving the illusion that only type is changing over a static background.
Excellent work Rocketwerx!

I had no problems installing this. I has lots of features and does a great work. It is also extremely easy to configure.
byogodefacto2 on June 22, 2008
one of the best free lightweight galleries out there.
byjoomlaline on June 20, 2008
I installed that in Joomla 1.0. It looks perfect in FF, however, in IE bottom margin of the site is enlarged for about 400-500px.

I have to say, that even with my limited Joomla! experience, I have found that very few, if any, other providers, can create QUALITY Joomla! enhancements that can meet or beat the folks at Rocketwerkz! Props to all involved! This, along with their other fine, free products, didn't just meet, but exceeded my expectations. Hands down the best of the lot! If I could give this module 10 stars, I would. Out of the box, EXACTLY what I was looking for and just a pure delight to install and set up to my criteria. Same goes for the other items from this fine Joomla! foundry.
In addition, as to the comments from the Team to the post regarding captions, etc... if this person would have looked over the very fine documentation, they would have immediately realized that what they wanted to do is a snap with this module! Wh heck, even I figured that out right away :)
10+ stars for Rocketwerx and Rocket Themes!
Cheers!

This looks very nice but...it seems to have a limit of 12 images.. at least that's the hint at startup, showing 1 of 12, it says. And, I wish it didn't crop images. But, can't find anything better.
byjkneebone on May 16, 2008
Great job on another great module. I use Rocket Theme and Rocket Werx all the time! Keep up the great work! Modules work great even when using other templates. Great job!
