Like a key to unlock the door to secret room, [FancyIntro](https://stacks4stacks.com/fancyintro/) adds a certain degree of ‘suspense’ to the opening and revealing of a webpage. Supporting two lines of text (or images) and a bountiful array of style options; you are sure to find FancyIntro both a fun and easy stack to use in many projects. Built-in cookie tracking means it’s possible to have the intro effect only run once, and not persistently appear each time a user opens a website. FancyIntro is a great way to welcome people to your website, grab their attention and instantly immerse them into your content.

[FancyIntro](https://stacks4stacks.com/fancyintro/) is the latest Tsooj Media stack to be updated and moved to Stacks4Stacks. This version retains the same splitting / sliding effect as version 2 did. However many more enhancements have been made towards making this stack easier, faster and more customisable to use…

- Tidied the editing interface and removed surplus settings that were no longer required
- Regrouped and renamed several settings. Some stack settings have new informational tooltips
- Support for images, markdown or HTML content; in addition to the existing styled text support
- Animation settings now make use of number input boxes
- All colour pickers support RGBa opacity
- Support for automatic stack updates; combined with new help and info links
- Written content can now receive bold, italicised or underline text styling
- New font size and letter spacing settings
- The vertical positioning of content can now be customised using the ‘offset’ option
- Added the ability to specify the upper and lower content styling independently
- New content alignment options, for the upper and lower content
- Removed some surplus browser hacks and polyfills that are no longer required
- Fixed some compatibility issues, particularly in addons like Foundations
- Fixed some HTML5 validation errors

Please note that the minimum system requirements of FancyIntro have changed. This stack now requires a minimum of Stacks 3 and RapidWeaver 6.

Sent you an email @willwood re updating my Fancy/Intro stack. I use this stack on my walking blog and it’s very effective.
