 Description   

The script used to build the pagination teasers in on the stage is not well documented (i.e. not documented at all) and also somehow not properly configurable on initialization. You will actually need to change the options directly in the script itself (which will force you to have multiple copies of the same script) or extend the object. In addition it has an ugly behavior when jumping back from the last to the first teaser.

"InnerFade" on the other hand works well, is well documented and easy configurable:

Thanks Will.

There are currently no big plans (i.e there are plans but no planned timeframe) for a javascript overhaul of stk. We are aware of a bunch of issues (configurability, transparency documentation), and will eventually get to work on that.

Thanks for suggestion - it will come in handy once we get to it.
(of course, if you'd like to contribute enhancements yourself, that'd be very welcome!)

Given the thousands of other issues we have open that are more highly requested, we won't be able to address this issue in the foreseeable future. Instead we will focus on issues with a higher impact, and more votes.
Thanks for taking the time to raise this issue. As you are no doubt aware this issue has been on our backlog for some time now with very little movement.
I'm going to close this to set expectations so the issue doesn't stay open for years with few updates. If the issue is still relevant please feel free to reopen it or create a new issue.
