Using Options

The Evo Slider options covers most of the slider customizations you will need for each implementation. There are numerous options that can be added to configure the look and behaviour of the Evo Slider.

To add an option to the slider you add it to the initialisation block of code, like so:

$('#evoslider').evoSlider({
    width: 960,
    height: 360,
    autoplay: true
});
