Change settings in InfanView®  slideshows

TIME between pictures, presented text, background, etc.)

1.- Open the folder where the pictures and the Thumbnails.html are.

 

2.- To change anything we should enter the HTML code of the slideshow. In order to do this we should open the “Thumbnails” with Internet Explorer and then go to “View > View HTML code”.

 

A very confusing text will appear (don’t be scared J) which is the HTML code of the document.

 

If we go to the option “slidesShowSpeed” we can change the TIME THAT EACH SLIDE WILL APPEAR. It is set in 5 seconds but you can change it for example to 3 seconds (you should put 3000 instead of 5000 – it is presented in milliseconds).

If we go to the option “CrossFadeDuration = 3 ” we can change the TIME OF TRANSITION (time passing since one slide desapears until the next appears) between each slide. It is predefined to 3 but you can change it for example to 1 second (quicker transition).

You can add a little text (don’t make many changes as the pictures will be dislocated and the most important is to SEE not to READ, write the minimum). In this next example will change the IrfanView HTML – Thumbnails to a more suitable text, for example, THORACIC CAVITY (opening, liquid presence, hearth and lungs).

The following will happen:

 

You can change the size and colour of the text of each picture. Search this part at the end of the code and alter it by putting this code: “<h5 align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:10,5pt; font-family:Verdana;color:white'>”

You can change the background in wish the pictures appear. In this part <body bicolor= “#c0c0c0”> you can write the colour you desire (for example black <body bicolor= “black”>). Every colours are described by a numeric and letter code. The most common ones are described also by words (black, white, blue, red, etc.). To know the codes of other more complex colours you can find a list or a simple program on the Internet (for example here you can find a list of colours).

The following will happen:

You can eliminate the transverse bars that are showed by predefinition on the HTML text by erasing the <hr> codes.

Then you can close the document (1) and when asked to save the changes, click Yes (2).
