Does anyone know how if possible I could get the same effect as Apple has on its website now when they promote the new MacBook Air, where they start with a full screen image that resides back into an image on the website it self. I have "stolen" a lot of the Apple layout and incorporated in my website where I use the Atahualpa theme. Which by the way is the best Wordpress theme out there.

Take a look at this plugin. It's not exactly the Apple page but you could use an image, set the background to black and 100% opaque, and get rid of the x in the corner per the settings and come close.

I did have a conflict with a plugin I had installed so if it doesn't work try deactivating some plugins.

I kind of like this plugin as it let's you set the time out of the splash screen so people don't have to "click here to enter" which I hate.

Thanks for the quick answer. It looks like this plugin could do the trick for me, but I can't get it to work. Deactivated all other plugins, but it still did not show up. Do you remember which plugin was in conflict in your case? The other issue is that I would like the image to be full screen. This plugin can only handle 999px. This could still work but it is not ideal. By the way, I have 24 other active plugins and they all work great together.

Make sure the Splash image activated box at the top of the settings page is checked (I missed that on my first try).

As far as size of image I would create an image that faded to a color on the outside and then set the background color of the spash image plugin to that color.

The plugin I had problems with with sidebar tabs.

I have the image activated, but I also have Sidebar Tabs. When I deactivated Sidebar Tabs it worked for me too . Is there any way to fix that, because I need Sidebar Tabs. It worked with the background as well when I implemented your suggestion. There are two more changes I would like if possible. The first is that I would like the splash image to open first and not shortly after the site. As it is now you can see the home page before the splash image takes over. The other is that I would like the image to fade away instead into to the home page. What do you think?

PS Thanks for all your help. DS

You now know as much about that plugin as I do. Let's twiddle with it and see who can come up with answers.
