Hi Bart,
I don't recall seeing slide and fade as a static effect.
Here are the two key pieces of css that create the effects...
.animation-slideandfade .sprocket-headlines-item.active {
transition: margin 0.3s ease-out 0s, opacity 0.4s ease-in 0s;
}
.animation-fade .sprocket-headlines-item.active {
transition: opacity 0.4s ease-in 0s;
}
The top one is slide and fade while the bottom one is just fade. So the slide effect is caused by the margin element of the transition, which is how the effect was designed to work. This is why I said about using fade instead of slide and fade.
Hope this helps
