So you want a simple full screen (perhaps even as a background) responsive slideshow.  But you hate javascript.  This is a tip for you.

What we are making is something like this live demo:

Add this to an HTML module in sites and pages:

<div class="pic-wrapper">
<figure class="pic-1"></figure>
<figure class="pic-2"></figure>
<figure class="pic-3"></figure>
<figure class="pic-4"></figure>
</div>

Add this to Design Studio and substitute my photos in RED with your own:

* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

.pic-wrapper {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
overflow:hidden;
}

figure {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
opacity:0;

  • Sweet codes, I've always loved CSS animation. Thank you for sharing JF

      • I did some playing around with this and made three different versions.

        One for modules,
        another one for fixed backgrounds and
        one for the HTML boxes above and below the header and above the footer.

        They can all be ran on the same page with different images.

        JF There are a few errors in the CSS in this discussion.  There are four lines of code with the word transformm it should be  transform,  you have one too many    m 's ...   I'm sure it was a copy and paste error, I've done it myself. lol  :)
