Hi there,

This is a great, great module! The power and versatility of this module are awasome.

I was thinking about a little clock counter (like a spin wheel) showing how much time the user have to the content be changed.

It is very important when displaying large amounts of content like a collection of news. The user must know how much time he have to read the content.

One thing to add is a symbol of pause || when the mouse is over the block of content.

What you guys think about it?

Thanks in advance for your great work!

This sounds interesting. There is nothing that spits out when someone hovers so we would have to grab that. I think the timing would be screwed up once you pause. This is just some code i through together to make a timer function. We could set this to be a before event type of thing. I just want to put it here to refer to it later.

function setText(seconds) {
  $('h2.time').text(seconds);
  if (seconds != 0) {
      var timeleft = seconds - 1;
      setTimeout("setText(" + timeleft + ")",  1000);
  }
}

var time = 3000;
var seconds = time/1000;

$('.view-content').prepend('<h2 class="time"></h2>');
setText(seconds);

Ok I'm going to mark this as won't fix. If the slideshow was paused it may become impossible to calculate the next transition.
