Can anyone recommend a good template with a slideshow?!

Happy to pay for one. Would like one where product listings come up in a grid view also.

Any of the templates from picaflor-azul would be excellent. Not only are they attractive, and well-designed - to Zen Cart standards - they respond quickly in the support threads here in this forum.

Both your requirements can be applied (relatively easily) to any template.

Please be very careful of many COMMERCIAL TEMPLATE SELLERS - particularly Algozone and TemplateMonster. In many cases, templates from these organisations (and others like them) are designed in "peculiar" ways and don't follow a lot of core zencart functionality.

If you arein doubt about any vendor of templates, come ask about them in this forum. There is a good possibility that someone with a lot of experience can advise you.

The templates by Picaflor Azul are really good, but I am not too keen on the way Anne embeds the slider component. There are other, neater techniques. We really like her structures though, so we normally put in our own sliders and faders.

Other good templates are the "pure" range from 12leaves . (Look on Google).

There are many very good basic templates in the free-add-ons.

If you go to our site, and look at some of our portfolio and showcase stuff, you can see how flexible ZC is. We also have some free templates on offer.
