Hi Juraj,
For your language (Slovak) it's better if you save the script file in Unicode format. Open the .dvl file with Notepad and choose File->"Save as...", you can see in the bottom of the dialog box the option "Codification", choose "Unicode" and save the file. Maybe this is not very important, but in Unicode format we can see all Slovak characters correctly although our System is in other language and although we do not understand Slovak 
Maybe 60% of loading to begin the transition effect is too much, at least for Internet. I prefer lower values, for example 15%, but this is only my preference.
regards!

Great tour of a beautiful church Juraj. Especially liked the hotspots to transition to the other panorma's. Can you advise what you used to do this? Tourweaver perhaps?

A pity that 30% of the visitors can not see it.

These stats are completely meaningless when it comes to the type of content we produce. These stats take into consideration corporate and business users who are often banned from viewing multi-media content.
Using these statistics as a bases to determine the type of content or methods you use for delivery is naive.
My site gets anywhere between 500 and 3000 unique visitors per day and my stats back-up what Hans posted:
72% PC/Others
28% Mac
Also Mac users tend to stay longer and view more content. On a page view basis this put Macs users almost 50|50 with PC/Other users.
My customer base for example is well over 50% Mac and increasing all the time. With the advent of Intel Macs there's really no reason to consider the purchase of a PC for producing high-end panoramic content.

Of course, there is a lot of Macs in the technical community. I'm posting now from an iMac
I want to see the panoramas.dk stats!

Hi Fiero,
Thanks for your 2 tips. I have changed both items. Can you see all slovak characters correctly now?
And changing the second parameter to 15% speeds up transition and is useful too.
I have to thank you also for excellent plugin and standalone DevalVR player! And for quick answers to my questions.

Hi Tim,
My workflow is nothing special. After creating all 5 panos (using PTGuin and Pano2Qtvr softs) I used standalone DevalVR player and with its tools I inserted all hotspots and linked all panos together. I had to experiment with the color of hotspot marks together with my friend (whose idea this tour was) but with great help of Fiero the work is done.
My friend wants to present this tour in more ways (QuickTime and Flash too), but I started with DevalVR version because the quality is best a it's my favourite one.

Yes, now I see the texts correctly in my Spanish system. Unicode is the best option to see all texts in languages different than english correctly in any system
I see this now:

I think you need a way to toggle the visible hotspots on and off as they ruin the scene. Typically this is done with the keyboard space bar.
Maybe something Fiero can work on?
