Hi there!
I suggest this feature due to the high probability of users hovering the slider not even realizing there is a slider there. Specially when you are making a site in full width and your slider is full width too, it would be great to have a check box with the option to make it “non stop under hover”.
Great theme, by the way! One of the best I have seen.
