 * Is it possible to have the slider pause on cursor hover, and then resume scrolling
   when the cursor moves away?

 * Hi, Vanessa.
 * It’s not currently possible to pause the slider on hover without editing the 
   plugin, I’m sorry to say.
 * If that’s something you’d like to explore, you’d need to edit line 165 of `genesis-
   responsive-slider.php` and change this code:
 *     ```
       $output = 'jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
       			$(".flexslider").flexslider({
       				controlsContainer: "#genesis-responsive-slider",
       				animation: "' . esc_js( $effect ) . '",
       				directionNav: ' . $directionnav . ',
       				controlNav: ' . $controlnav . ',
       				animationDuration: ' . $duration . ',
       				slideshowSpeed: ' . $timer . '
       		    });
       		  });';
       ```
   
 * To look like this (extra `pauseOnHover` line near end):
 *     ```
       $output = 'jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
       			$(".flexslider").flexslider({
       				controlsContainer: "#genesis-responsive-slider",
       				animation: "' . esc_js( $effect ) . '",
       				directionNav: ' . $directionnav . ',
       				controlNav: ' . $controlnav . ',
       				animationDuration: ' . $duration . ',
       				slideshowSpeed: ' . $timer . ',
       				pauseOnHover: true
       		    });
       		  });';
       ```
   
 * Note that plugin updates will overwrite these changes, so you’d have to re-apply
   the change with each new version of the plugin.
 * I’ll put this forward as a feature request in case it’s something the developers
   might add as an option in the settings. Thanks for asking about it!
