    Hey guys sorry if this is a duplicate. I looked through the search but the info wasn’t really directed to what I am looking for.

    I am sure that parallax backgrounds are a hot topic for you guys and something you hear about all the time. I am not a programmer so the difficulty in deployment of all our feature requests seams foreign and insanely troublesome to me. So cheers to you all!

    What I am interested in an possibly switching away form enfold for is one of your top competitors. Salient. I want the ability to use multi layered and mouse based parallax backgrounds. example below

    http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/about/about-me-extended/

    you guys have color section background parallax but that is only on vertical scroll, one layer and not mouse following. I know there are issues with mobile devices with regards to this also but I am not versed in this myself as to what works and what doesn’t.

    When I visit the link I gave on a chrome desktop browser it works beautifully. When I visit it on an ipad or iphone it still works great. So I am not sure why this can’t be implemented within the enfold environment. Am I missing something?

    Another thing that site does really well is video backgrounds. They of course are disabled on ios devices but degrade to background images nicely.

    Just curious of your thoughts on the manner.

    Hi allegrabillings!

    Actually, it looks like LayerSlider has a parallax with mouse move feature built in. I’ve never used it or noticed it but when googling just now for a plugin it came up.

    If you add an image layer to your slideshow then go to the Transition tab it has an option at the bottom where you can set the mouse effect:

    I just tried it out and it works just like the Salient demo :)

    Best regards,

    As a follow up, here are my settings to get a full width, centered image, with mouse moving parallax on a layer in LayerSlider:

    Under Transition for the slide (that is an image) use the parallax level 2 like in the above image. Then for the Styles use:

    For the slideshows “Slider Settings” I have:
