Topic: Suggestion: Caption bar to fade in/out over 100-500 ms

It would be a nicer user experience if upon the appearance of new image, the caption bar would fade in (quickly, but not instantly appear) over a fraction of a second. It would give a smooth, polished feeling to the album.

If this could be custom adjusted in pro, that would even be better.

Re: Suggestion: Caption bar to fade in/out over 100-500 ms

I appreciate you taking the time to post your suggestions in the forum.
However, if would be much better if you posted them in the Feature Request forum thread (a dedicated thread for ideas) where they will be seen by the developers and are less likely to get lost in amongst all the other support threads.
Thank you.

Incidentally, captions appear and disappear with their corresponding images so you might like to try setting imageTransitionType to either FADE or CROSS_FADE and then increasing the imageTransitionTime from its default value of 0.3 to something larger (although this will affect all image transitions, not just the initial image fade in).
Still, it might be worth trying a few different combinations in case you find something close to what you are trying to achieve.
(Both the configuration options in bold above can be found in the Main Image Options section of the Config Options page.)
