Elastic Slider - Joomla 4 Compatible

Hot Elastic Slider is a free responsive slider module compatible with Joomla 4 (and Joomla 3.x). This module lets you rotate slides with images, text and call to action buttons. The navigation bar of this module is specific because it shows preview images (thumbnails) of the previous or upcoming slides. The transitions between slides, navigation bar, as well as text and buttons are animated.

Module Properties

After installation, you'll see that some default parameters are already set. The parameters can be changed according to the needs of your website.

All options related to this module are grouped in 4 tabs: main module properties, module style, navigation, and animation. In the first tab, you can set different module sizes for desktop, tablet, and phone devices. Also, there are properties related to the box where headings, text, and buttons are placed. The next tab lets you set the module style. You can set the background color and opacity of the textual box, font sizes, and colors of the text and buttons. In the Navigation tab, you can set the navigation size and colors. Finally, the Animation Properties tab lets you enable or disable automatic rotation of the slides, animation speed, and types of animation easing.
