Please note that you can set the slide show timeout yourself. Just type the number of seconds you want.
How does website HTML slide show work
Slide show in Extreme Thumbnail Generator is a JavaScript that shows next image page after slide show timeout elapses. When the last image page is reached - slide show continues from the first image page. Usually a new image or text link is added to the image page navigation which allows to start and stop the slide show. If user clicks a link that changes the image page (for example Next image button or First image button), the slide show is stopped. You can take a look at the sample gallery with the slide show feature here.
One important thing to notice here - if your gallery does not have image pages (thumbnails are linked directly to full-size images, or you used a Lightbox effect) then you can't have a slide show.
Adding slide show to the modified template
Most of the built-in gallery templates already have the necessary code and graphics for a slide show. Here is a way how to add an HTML slide show to the template that currently does not have one.
You have to add an element that will allow controlling the slide show to the code of the template of the image page or image page navigation menu. It can be an image, text link or button with Extreme Thumbnail Generator special tag in the OnClick event handler. Here is an example with the text link:
<a href=”#” onclick=”[#imagemenubar.slideshow_on_click#]”>Start/stop slide show</a>
Extreme Thumbnail Generator's built-in template editor can be used for it.

This is it! No other modifications required. Your template is ready to produce website HTML galleries with a slide show feature.
