I found this, but how to implement.

Controller

The controller element holds the buttons to navigate through the slideshow. If the navigation window that contains the thumbnails is shown, the controller flips and shows the buttons for the navigation window.

attribute  
default  
type  
description  
appearTime  
0.4  
number 0—MAX  
appear transition in seconds  
autoHide  
true  
boolean  
auto hides the controller after disappearDelay seconds  
autoPlay  
true  
boolean  
automatically plays the slideshow  
backgroundAlpha  
0.95  
number 0—1  
background opacity of the controller element  
backgroundColor  
#222  
color/gradient  
background color of the controller element  
backgroundRadius  
16  
number 0—MAX  
roundness of the controller element  
backgroundRadiusExponent  
3  
number 2—MAX  
make the radius circular (2) or more rectangular (\>2)  
disappearDelay  
3  
number 0—MAX  
time in seconds before the controller element hides away. time starts running when there’s no mouse interaction.  
disappearMode  
vertical  
option  
horizontal, vertical, fade  
specifies if the controller should disappear horizontally, vertically. or fade out in place

@tom_stalon

Generally speaking this is something managed between the Theme developer and RapidWeaver. The Theme developer may not be offering this effect in their Theme or maybe implementation is unusual like enabling it in the pages’s Theme settings by turning off using master style…

If we knew the exact version of RapidWeaver and the Exact name and version of the Theme being used you might get roe assistance with this issue.
