What I would like to happen would be to remove all transition effects from the slide text container so that transparent_bg.png does not transition in and out between slides functioning as a permanent overlay. When I use mouseover, it tends to be 'quirky' sometimes loading in quickly then disappearing entirely and I think if I turn off the slide text effect entirely would help resolve this issue.

Basically I'd be left with a permanent area of the slider with transparent_bg.png overlaid with the only thing changing would be the actual text, the background for the text would stay static.

Is this possible?

Have a look at the FAQ question: Text slide disappears if I click pager twice. What to do?

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

I tried that, changing line #12 of the CSS from
div.slide-text{background:transparent url(../images/transparent_bg.png) repeat scroll 0 0!important;position:absolute;}

to

div.slide-text1{background:transparent url(../images/transparent_bg.png) repeat scroll 0 0!important;position:absolute;}

Unfortunately that disables every aspect of that line (i.e. transparent_bg.png does not load) as well... I was hoping there would be a way to have the slide text graphic (transparent_bg.png) load, just without the fade in/out effect, basically a static section of transparent_bg.png with each slide's text propagating to it.

When you use fading for the transition of the slide and the slidetext you can set the slider-container in the configuration page to e.g

div.slide-text1

instead of

div.slide-text

so jQuery effects will not be used.
The slidetext always stays in the front this way.

This means you go to the configuration page of the ddblock slideshow you use and change the Slide text container field in the Slide text settings block to div.slide-text1. You don't need to change anything in CSS.

Adjusted the FAQ answer to make it more clear.

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

That worked perfectly, and I apologize for making the issue more confusing than than it actually was. Thank you sooo much!
