Die **ThemeWare® "Hero-Slider"-Blöcke** sind CMS-Blöcke die mit den entsprechenden Slider CMS-Elementen befüllt werden müssen. Andere CMS-Elemente funktionieren nicht im Hero-Slider.

Die Slider-Blöcke haben daher spezielle CMS-Elemente.

## Autoplay and accessibility

The "automatic transition" (autoplay) is disabled (from version 3.7 or 4.0) due to accessibility concerns. You can enable this feature via the theme configuration.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Accessibility concerns**: Enabling this feature may make parts of your storefront inaccessible to users with disabilities. This may result in non-compliance with accessibility laws applicable in your jurisdiction (e.g., the European Accessibility Act).

**Please note**: By enabling this feature, you acknowledge this risk and accept full responsibility.

## CSS-Klassen

In den Block-Einstellungen hast du die Möglichkeit CSS-Klassen für den entsprechenden CMS-Block zu definieren.

Da der ThemeWare® "Hero-Slider" (ab ThemeWare® 2.0) auf dem Bootstrap 5 Carousel ([Dokumentation](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.2/components/carousel/)) basiert, sind folgende CSS-Klassen besonders interessant:

#### Überblenden (Crossfade)

Füge die CSS-Klasse `carousel-fade` dem Block hinzu, um Slides mit einem Fade-Übergang anstelle eines Slides zu animieren.

#### Dunkle Controls

Füge die CSS-Klasse `carousel-dark` dem Block hinzu, um Steuerelemente dunkler zu gestalten.

#### Flat controls

The controls of the "Hero Slider" have a drop shadow for optimal visibility. This is especially helpful if the colour of the images in the slider varies significantly. If you don't want the drop shadows, simply add the CSS class `flat-controls` to the corresponding block.
