I have been looking for tutorial on how theme the output of this module. I'm pretty much trying to achieve the type of slide on this site http://www.overstock.com/. I believe it is possible with this module but don't know where to start. What do I change to achieve this? Thank you.

The method on overstock simply has the text IN the picture itself:

To get what you want.. you might want to review ALL of the different modules that are similar to this and make your own decision:

This is a great comparison article: http://drupal.org/node/418616

Thank you for your reply. This link http://economicmonitor.net/ on the module's page works in similar way with the text on the image, the only difference is overstocks slids to the left. I think this person http://www.jamrie.com/ is using this module too. I would do it the Overstock way but that's just extra work. I would like to find a way to overlay the text on the image automatically.

The information I need is what part of the module files to change to achieve this and what files to put it (tpl file or template file). Thanks.

just play around with the css. i did this few months back. i scrapped it as i need more freedom on which nodes to be displayed. its not as hard as you think, though.
