Hey everyone! 👋
I’m thrilled to announce the release of Eclipse 2 — a huge upgrade to my popular background slideshow stack. Eclipse has always made it easy to add stunning image and video backgrounds to your Stacks sites, and version 2 takes that even further with powerful new features and better performance.
This is a paid upgrade for existing Eclipse users, and I truly believe the enhancements in version 2 make it well worth it. Whether you’re creating immersive hero sections, full-page background sliders, or adding subtle flair behind your content, Eclipse 2 gives you total creative control.

🆕 What’s New in Eclipse 2
🎥 Video & Image Slide Support: Mix responsive images and videos in a single stack. Eclipse handles both beautifully.
📱 Responsive Breakpoints: Supply small, medium, and large versions of your media to optimize performance on every device.
✨ Improved Fade Transitions: Slides fade smoothly with customizable delay and animation durations.
🧊 Overlay Effects & Blur: Choose from over 30 built-in overlays and apply blur effects per slide for added depth and style.
🎨 New Color Slides: Use color slides between media to create elegant fades or highlight content zones.
🕶 Enhanced Per-Slide Settings: Override global settings per slide to fine-tune overlays, blur, and media.
📽 Site-Wide Background Mode: Use Eclipse as a full-page background that remains fixed behind your site content.
⏱ Smarter Timer Bar: Optional animated timer bar shows slide duration and can be customized to match your design.
🔁 Shuffle, Loop, and Scroll-Aware Playback: Slides can shuffle randomly, loop indefinitely, and now pause when out of view to save resources—resuming when scrolled back in.
⚙️ Works with All Your Content: Add anything on top of Eclipse—text, headers, buttons—it works as a true background layer.
