Hey,
I understand, I guess it does kind of ripple but I didn't understand before seeing it 1st hand.
Open up header.php and find this code:
<?php if($kriesi_options['slide_page'] != ""){
$my_query = new WP_Query('page_id='.$kriesi_options['slide_page']);
if ($my_query->have_posts()) : while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
the_content();
endwhile; endif;
}else{ ?>
<!-- WANT TO EDIT YOUR SLIDESHOW IMAGES DIRECTLY? ADD ANY NUMBER OF IMAGES YOU LIKE BELOW-->
<img src='<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images<?php echo $kriesi_options['whichdesign']; ?>/header_image1.jpg' alt='' height="240" width="900" />
<img src='<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images<?php echo $kriesi_options['whichdesign']; ?>/header_image2.jpg' alt='' height="240" width="900" />
<?php } ?>
Replace it with:
<img src='<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images<?php echo $kriesi_options['whichdesign']; ?>/header_image1.jpg' alt='' height="240" width="900" />
This will now only load the one image and stop the ripple effect which was caused by having the 2 header images (header_image1.jpg and header_image2.jpg) changing. If they were different images the transition makes sense, but not in your case.
Hope this helps!
James
