X3Photo Gallery Forums

There are some pre-defined effects available under Settings > Gallery > Styles and Effects. If you hover over this field there's a small ? icon on the right that explains them.

If you don't like those, you would need to add your own effects via custom CSS.

There are a few built-in options like hover-scale and zoom-icon (see gallery > styles and effects) as well as caption transitions. If you want your own custom mouse hover effect, it needs to be added via custom CSS.

Not from the interface. However, you can delete the file config/custom-setting-templates.json to delete old ones. Or even open the file in a text editor and edit their names, if you are comfortable viewing JSON data.

there's a way to split the home page let's say half with a slide-show and the other one with a blog?

You mean for instance left column slideshow right column blog? I'm not quite sure how that would fit ... You can create columns in your "content" section, but it does require some basic html ... and you need to remember that this also has to work on mobile devices, and therefore columns and such need to be configured to "stack" on mobile devices, so it's not a simple concept. There is an example of two columns content in the below link:

confusion was the normality, I really can't understand why so much people use it - and how.

:) Since you have already spent some time with X3, I'm glad you have found some interesting options. In the beginning, it can definitely be confusing. Wordpress is clumsy at a different level, because there are just too many different providers/developers that slap things on top of each other to create the complete website.
