The frontpage of the BentoBox demo features some example content to give you an idea of some of the things that can be done with the template. While these are just examples, we have listed the code showing how some of the module content layouts were achieved.

Listed below are a couple examples of content presentations with step by step instructions on how to set up similar for your own site using BentoBox.

Mono Slideshow - Flash Slideshow Software

Mono Slideshow

The BentoBox Dark demo features an excellent flash based slideshow on the frontpage. This slideshow software is called "MonoSlideshow" and is a commercial slideshow software and is not included with the BentoBox template.

Features
  • Resize and position everything to suit your needs
  • Color every object in the slideshow
  • Performs professional transitions, including the Ken Burns effect
  • Contains high quality typefaces
  • Create your own water mark
  • Supports sound and music
  • Monoslideshow talks XML, so it's easily integrated in your existing site
How does it work?

Monoslideshow is a single .SWF-file. There's no need to edit the slideshow in the Flash IDE itself. Instead, all its information is directly read from a .XML-file. It's compact, extremely versatile and very easy to integrate in your existing website.
