The plugin only controls the functionality and design is completely created on the HTML-CSS side.

It can auto-arrange the height according to the content displayed, has multiple transition effects, the interval between each slide can be changed and much more.

PhotoSwipe is a free and full-featured image gallery for mobile and touch devices.

It is built with HTML, CSS + JavaScript and doesn't depend on any frameworks.

The interface is native-like and offers a similar experience with the ability of swiping items and support for orientation (also, resizes images automatically).

A "start" button can display the images as a slideshow and there are many options for customizing the gallery like the speed of fadeIn-fadeOut effects, enabling zoom, method of image scaling and much more.

PhotoSwipe works in iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry + desktop browsers and there is an optional jQuery implementation for the users of this framework.

Agile Carousel is a jQuery plugin that allows us to create flexible (both in function and design) slideshows.

The plugin uses JSON for the data format of the slides. So, they can easily be provided remotely and integration with any other system (like CMSs) will be easier.

You can select between "fade" or "slide" as the transition effect, duration of the transitions and intervals between each slide can all be defined.

Slides can be set to be displayed with an "infinite scrolling" interface, navigation can be accomplished by "numbered buttons", "prev-next buttons" or any custom control.

With a simple function, it is also possible to get the total number of slides and the "current" slide displayed which would be handy when customizing it.

P.S. The plugin was previously shared at WRD, however, this is a totally re-written version and the old URLs are no longer available.

Skitter is a jQuery plugin that enables us to convert unordered lists into slideshows with attractive animations.

The slideshow can display the list of slides as numbers or thumbnails and items can be browsed with the help of prev-next buttons as well.

It has many original animation types including cube (with various sub-types), tube, block and more.

There are several options offered for maximum customization like: velocity (for the animation particles), interval between each slide or label display on/off.

Another nice feature is the ability to mention the animation type for each slide as a class name which allows us to use multiple animation types inside one slideshow.

Slider Kit is a very flexible jQuery plugin that enables us to create almost any type of slideshows like photo galleries, news sliders, carousels and more.

The complete skin of the slideshows can be customized with CSS and the plugin weights only ~8kb (minified).

Design Made In Germany, a website listing creative works of German agencies and designers, is sharing a slideshow created with pure CSS.

It has a nice slide effect that works in all modern browsers -which also degrades gracefully when needed- using the CSS3 transition property and transform property's translateX function.

Every page gets its own URL using hashtags for direct links and history is not broken.

There is no tutorial provided, however, the source of the slideshow is very clean and has only few rules to follow.

Tip: Don't forget to check the meta tag with name="viewport" used for mobile browsers.

Items in the rotator can be navigated with the help of a pagination, prev-next buttons and/or thumbnails (where all are optional.)

A nice feature is that the looping is very smooth, even when it reaches the last slide as the loop directly moves to the 1st item.
