jQuery Cycle

The jQuery Cycle Plugin is a lightweight slideshow plugin. Its implementation is based on the InnerFade Plugin by Torsten Baldes, the Slideshow Plugin by Matt Oakes, and the jqShuffle Plugin by Benjamin Sterling. It supports pause-on-hover, auto-stop, auto-fit, before/after callbacks, click triggers and many transition effects. It also supports, but does not require, the Metadata Plugin and the Easing Plugin.

Pikachoose is a lightweight Jquery plugin that allows easy presentation of photos with options for slideshows, navigation buttons, and auto play. Pikachoose is designed to be easily installed, easy to setup, and well... all around easy. Creating an image gallery shouldn't be a complex thing. I've created a new plugin that I'm packaging with PikaChoose called SliderJS.

CrossSlide

CrossSlide

CrossSlide is a jQuery plugin that implements in Javascript some common slide-show animations, traditionally only available to the web developer via Adobe Flashâ„¢ or other proprietary plugins. CrossSlide builds upon jQuery's animation facility, so it is as portable across browsers as jQuery itself (a lot.)

Innerfade

innerfade

InnerFade is a small plugin for the jQuery-JavaScript-Library. It's designed to fade you any element inside a container in and out. These elements could be anything you want, e.g. images, list-items, divs. Simply produce your own slideshow for your portfolio or advertisings. Create a newsticker or do an animation.

All the products are amazing. Don't want to be rude or something but I think more features are needed. I want to customize the components more. For example, I don't know if you heard of www.flashxml.net but they have a lot of features, I mean I can customize all the product, do you think it is possible in the future updates to implement more features? And one more think that I liked on that website, it has some kind of "live demo" they called, and you can change settings instantly and after you choose your own settings you can download the component just how you customize it. I now it's much, but you can please do that for us? I am sure that all of us want something like that. Nice day to you guys!

Most of these are NOT responsive. In 2012, they're basically useless. Also, please enable a "Subscribe to comments" feature on your blog. Thx
