This update is a major overhaul that will take LayerSlider to the next level of performance and usability. It also prepares for a new wave of professional templates to be released soon. Here’s the list of changes this update offers
- Introducing Smart Background, a new feature that allows you to customize how layer backgrounds behave. You can detach the background from a layer to create an effect as if you were looking through the layer - like a window - to the background. For example, you can create mosaic-like images when used with multiple layers. Read our blog post to see examples and learn more.
- The whole project editor interface received countless improvements to enhance user experience and accessibility significantly. From clicking into option fields to selecting text, all behave more naturally. For example, text fields won't lose focus when clicking certain interface elements, smaller fields automatically expand to make room for longer values, etc. By popular demand, the active slide has also received a much more noticeable highlight.
- A lot of additional transition properties can now handle random values. In addition to the already existing random feature, which picks a number from a range between two numbers, you can now also provide a list of fixed values to choose from randomly. They have a new, shorter, and easier syntax. Clicking the + sign next to a transition option field will reveal and provide examples for both.
- Scroll Transition offers new transition properties: Alternate Transform Origin, Reverse Easing, and Reverse Duration. These allow you to drastically change how a layer reacts and animates when scrolling the page back and forth.
- The color picker now offers a way to copy and paste colors and gradients across layers, slides, and projects. It now also properly updates as you undo/redo changes.
- Assets Library now automatically retries downloading assets in case of a failed attempt, and it also comes with additional interface improvements.
- System Status can now recognize and properly interpret and display special PHP settings used in edge cases.
- Improved how layers with Parallax Transition behave and eliminated some jumpiness in certain cases.
- Added additional mouse cursor options under the STYLE menu.
