Avalanche
A theme for the landslide Web-based slideshow presentation system.
Example
There are two example presentations: white background & black background. Press 'h' for help!
Creating a new presentation
- Create a new directory.
- Place required markup files and any custom css and image files here.
- Copy the example_presentation/presentation.cfg to here and change the filenames and paths as required.
Building the slides
- Install landslide.
cd into the directory of the presentation (within input) that you want to render and run landslide presentation.cfg.- Open up the rendered HTML in the
./output directory.
What's in Avalance?
In Avalanche, we have changed both the JavaScript and CSS
Improved JavaScript
The default theme's slides.js has been revamped as a jQuery plugin with a handful of fixes and improvements (many more to come!):
- Includes a clock in presenter view.
- 'p' properly toggles presenter view on and off.
- 'b' (blank) in presenter mode blanks the main view but simply reduces the opacity of the active slide in the presenter view.
- Closing the main window will automatically close presenter view.
- Greatly improved previously buggy scaling support, allows for embedding of slides.
- Added support for more presenter remotes via additional shortcuts.
- Additional 'f' shortcut for JavaScript-induced full screen mode. This resolves an issue with OSX blanking out the other screen when using F11 for full screen.
Improved CSS
The theme's screen.css has been revamped to separate out the structure from the colours and fonts. Also:
- Transtion between slides is now a simple fade
- Only ever one slide displayed at a time
- Improved look of presenter view.
