Carousel

[wlingke]

Several suggestions:

Small item:
White captions are hard to see on many images. I would suggest a back semi-transparent background behind

Bigger item:
Ability to specify a width & height for the carousel and then size appropriately and vertically & horizontally center an image in carousel. Sizing requires setting either a max-width, max-height to 100% and auto for the other dimension. Add a black-background for styling.

This prevents the carousel from changing height based on the image size and makes the carousel able to handle many types of images.

I hope this makes sense... if not, let me know and I'll try to work up an example.

Nice suggestions!
Also, I'd like to add: make a fade transition
Having the slide + fade transitions, it will cover most of the most common cases in websites. The ones who want more effects can use a plugin.

@Merg1255 Please file a separate bug. Too many things in one issue right now.

Feedback on each item:

• For now we'll leave the captions as-is—that should be easy to add if you want them.
• Setting width and height is interesting, but I don't know how we'd do it for everyone without fucking up something for someone else.
• Open to a black background on carousel items—throw a PR out there if you like :).

I've addressed @Merg1255's request in #9397.
