My solution to use more than three images in the slide show and use the slide show on every page

Hi all,
Thanks for the great theme. I have used it on my website in Drupal 7 and now I have upgraded to Drupal 9 I have kept the Danland theme.
I saw some requests to use more than three images in the slideshow. I wanted that too. I also wanted the slideshow on every page.
I have updated the theme-files. As long as I don't install updates that would overwrite this then I'm fine. And otherwise I'll just make the modifications again.
Also I don't care about choosing the files from the settings, I'm fine coding them in the php file directly.

But I would find it practical if we could just throw image files in a directory and have it sort out to show each of them. So that is actually a feature request.

Here is what I did, use it at your own discretion:
In danland.theme I have removed the entire code with the if-else statements to set the file names and paths from the settings.
In stead I have placed these lines in the code:

$variables['slide1_image'] = '/themes/danland/images/slideshows/bits1-950x100.png';
$variables['slide2_image'] = '/themes/danland/images/slideshows/bits2-950x100.png';
$variables['slide3_image'] = '/themes/danland/images/slideshows/bits3-950x100.png';
$variables['slide4_image'] = '/themes/danland/images/slideshows/bits4-950x100.png';
$variables['slide5_image'] = '/themes/danland/images/slideshows/bits5-950x100.png';
$variables['slide6_image'] = '/themes/danland/images/slideshows/bits6-950x100.png';
$variables['slide7_image'] = '/themes/danland/images/slideshows/bits7-950x100.png';
$variables['slide8_image'] = '/themes/danland/images/slideshows/bits8-950x100.png';

Note that I have hardcoded the path to point to the root of my public_html because that's needed when showing the slideshow on each page.

Next I modified page.html.twig from the templates folder.
I have removed the {% if is_front %} statement to show the slideshow on every page. (Don't forget to remove the {% endif %} part)

To display all my eight files I just copied this line:

....img src="{{ slide1_image }}" width="100%" height="100%" .....

and changed slide1_image into slide4_image, 5, 6 etc.

Don't forget to go to Configuration - Performance and Clear all caches to use the new code.

Questions or suggestions feel free to ask.
Greetings,
Rob
