Is it possible to separate the slide text from the image so that they are in separate containers? I'm trying to accomplish something like what you see on this site:

http://demo.rockettheme.com/drupal/d_infuse/

So far it just looks like the javascript confines everything to the size of the image so that you really can't have anything (other than the pager) appear outside of the image area.

If anybody could help me out if this is possible or if there is another solution that would be great!

Thanks

Yes, it is also possible to create slideshow themes with text next to the images, see e.g. the slideshow themes for the ddblock module:

http://themes.myalbums.biz/theme/threefold/threefold-30l
http://themes.myalbums.biz/theme/threefold/threefold-40l
http://themes.myalbums.biz/theme/threefold/threefold-50l

and

http://themes.myalbums.biz/theme/chromatic-blue/chromatic-blue10l
http://themes.myalbums.biz/theme/chromatic-blue/chromatic-blue20l
http://themes.myalbums.biz/theme/chromatic-blue/chromatic-blue40l

They have the container bigger then the slide image so the text can be placed next to the images.

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

I'm not sure I could easily get any of those to look like the slideshow at the link I posted above but if I can't find another option I'll get it a try. Thanks for your help!

Well, I've been trying to get the chromatic-blue20l to work but nothing is working. It's not even rotating through the slides anymore (I had the examples working with the 2.x version before and I have used this modules on many different sites). Am I supposed to use the 1.x version or the 2.x? I've actually tried to get it to work in both... In the readme.txt file it says:

1.) Goto the dynamic display block configuration screen.

Does that mean the view style settings? I assume so but I've changed it to custom and put in chromatic-blue20l and nothing is working at all... Can I get more instructions on how to get this setup? I've even watched the tutorial and can't figure it out... Is there a view and content type I can import that will work without me having to mess with any other settings?

Thanks for your help.

The chromatic-blue20l theme is for the ddblock module, not for the views_slideshow_ddblock module.
I only gave them as an example that the theme layout you require with text next to the image can also be made.
