Intro

The S5 (Simple Standards-Based Slide Show System) templates bundled up into a Slide Show (S9) template pack including three S5 themes, that is, Blue, I18N and Pixel.

Note, the S5 Themes package is configured to use the following headers in slides.html.erb:

author: Your Name Here
company: Your Company Here
title: Your Slide Show Title Here
subtitle: Your Subtitle Here
footer: Your Footer Here
subfooter: Your Subfooter Here

Use the theme header to choose your S5 theme. Packaged themes include default, blue, i18n and pixel.
