Same problem: the supersized background slideshow doesn't seem to work with this template.
I tried it with Joomla 2.5, 3.2.2 and 3.2.3... no way.
The "best" result I can get is the first picture of my list showing fullscreen for a fraction of a second, then the slideshow just vanishes.
EDIT: while I was replying to your post the guys from the support fixed the problem with my website and now the slideshow is working properly. I hope they will share with us what the solution was
