Try removing this:
$('#slideshow').hover(
function() { $('#controls').fadeIn(); },
function() { $('#controls').fadeOut(); }
);

hi acrylian

when i remove it the images in slideshow mode not appearing any more

Try changing display: noneto display: blockor display: inlinewith slideshow.css's #controls

hi acrylian

in the my themes/slideshow.css i did try both : display: block or and display:inline

display: block did not work at all images still not showing

display:inline in IE i can see only the " slideshow control button on the left. but no images

display:inline in opera nothing showing still

Then it's aparently not that easy to change that. I have no time to dig further into this right now (the IE display issues are still unsolved, too). So I suggest you use either the flash mode or write a note like suggested above.

hi acrylian

that is ok.

could u pls look at it when u have the time and find me solution for it.

thanks again

hi acrylian

Well, you have now jQuery, so I can't test it.

I will not promise to see after the "controls issue", because I really can't consider that an issue. Please understand, I/we have not the time to fullfill the "demands" of a single users (no one else really complained till now). Your visitors just have to hover over basically the whole browser window to see the controls (assuming that the majority of windows users use most of the time full screen mode, this would likely often happen.)

Regarding the IE display problem. that is something we hopefully solve sometime. Might be or not be that the control hover is related or not.
