Unslider simply animates the ul, so it does not actually change the picture li's. However, it DOES add an active class to the dots. Digging through the source code, I found where it adds the active class to the dots and edited in a similar line that should apply an active class to the pictures. Here is the edited source code:
/**
* Unslider by @idiot
*/
(function($, f) {
// If there's no jQuery, Unslider can't work, so kill the operation.
if(!$) return f;
var Unslider = function() {
// Set up our elements
this.el = f;
this.items = f;
// Dimensions
this.sizes = [];
this.max = [0,0];
// Current inded
this.current = 0;
// Start/stop timer
this.interval = f;
// Set some options
this.opts = {
speed: 500,
delay: 3000, // f for no autoplay
complete: f, // when a slide's finished
keys: !f, // keyboard shortcuts - disable if it breaks things
dots: f, // display ••••o• pagination
fluid: f // is it a percentage width?,
};
// Create a deep clone for methods where context changes
var _ = this;
this.init = function(el, opts) {
this.el = el;
this.ul = el.children('ul');
this.max = [el.outerWidth(), el.outerHeight()];
this.items = this.ul.children('li').each(this.calculate);
// Check whether we're passing any options in to Unslider
this.opts = $.extend(this.opts, opts);
// Set up the Unslider
this.setup();
return this;
};
// Get the width for an element
// Pass a jQuery element as the context with .call(), and the index as a parameter: Unslider.calculate.call($('li:first'), 0)
this.calculate = function(index) {
var me = $(this),
width = me.outerWidth(), height = me.outerHeight();
// Add it to the sizes list
_.sizes[index] = [width, height];
// Set the max values

if(height > _.max[1]) _.max[1] = height;
};
// Work out what methods need calling

this.el.css({
