Using screen layouts and zones, you can set up what content you would like to display on the screen. They can be created and edited through Slideshow’s web interface, menu Screen layout.

Zone

  • Position and size, either in percentage or in pixels (automatically recalculated)
  • Background color, which can be semi-transparent, or linear / radial color gradient consisting of two colors
  • Border lines, their width and color
  • Transition between two consecutive images
  • Rounded corners

Each zone has one or more playlists assigned through schedules, that means that the zone can display different playlists on different hours of the day or different days of week.
