Responsive Background Slideshow Module

The eXtro Responsive Background Slideshow Extended (aka E.R.B.S.E.) is a universally CSS3 based background slideshow. Due to that no JavaScript is needed, you can save ressources in data transfer as well as in the users frontend.

The Responsive Background Slideshow comes with different animation effects, the duration of each slide can be defined as well as zoom and tilt of the slide picture. Additionally, a caption can be created per slide which can be faded by various animation styles. The captions font type, size and color can be defined as well.

Best results can be achieved by using a template which allows to completely fade out the main content, or if you use a template with partially transparent background. The eXtro Responsive Background Slideshow can be published in any
module position, but for best results, we recommend using a position with low HTML nesting to reduce unwanted side effects.

Really awesome module, the page looks more alive and much more attractive. Only for a few Euros. And even though I had some problems with making it work, the helpdesk responded fast, and came up with the solution. 5 stars from me.

If you want to have a nice animated background on your site, you can't make anything wrong with this module, all kinds of sites will just look better.
Just select your background images and save (default settings will produce a nice tilt/zoom effect), that's all - the module does the rest, and it does it good!

The best part about this module: No matter if you want to create a animated background slideshow with zoom/tilt effects, or if you just want to have a static background image - all in between is possible, just play around with the settings.

Thanks for this fantastic module.

Before buying this, I tried bgmax and was just about to buy some other junk... Thankfully I stumbled upon this module and my job was done in seconds! Works great with my Artisteer based templates as well as with my JAT3 based ones. Fast, cheap and effective...

Keep up the good work.

Nice page background image module. Useful that you can use a pattern or seamless texture as background also, great feature. Nice Ken Burns effect (some photos almost appear 3D) Support has been timely, friendly and effective.
Thanks guys at Extro Media. Nice job!
