## Description

Slideshow background adds a full size, smooth transition slideshow to the background
of a WordPress site. Images can be selected from the media library or uploaded via
drag-and-drop. Every page load will begin at a random position in the image loop
so that users are not presented with the same start image every page change.

Additionally, the images maintain their aspects ratios during resize and turn off
for mobile users.

This plug-in was conjured up by a nerd at [Think Bowl](http://think-bowl.com/)

  Can I use existing photos in my media library?

Yes. It is not recommended to select the largest format. Generally the second largest
is a reasonable balance between load time and picture quality.
