# Customize the Slideshow Container (Pro)

This feature requires the MetaSlider Slideshow Pro plugin.

There is a "Container" feature in MetaSlider Pro. The best way to explain how this works is to show it. This screenshot shows a slideshow that uses the "Hero" theme.

This next screenshot shows the same slideshow but with the "Container" feature activated. This feature makes it easier to integrate MetaSlider into your slideshow design.

In this third screenshot, you can see the "Container" settings. You can control the background for your slideshow container, plus the padding and margin.
