Those javascript slideshow things

Hello, Javascript Idiot here. Can someone please recommend a theme that has one of those image slideshows built into the header? I would like a good example to study the code, but I have no idea what constitutes a good example.

The powers that be have dictated that having lots of huge photos zipping past is more important than, say, actually being able to load the page. You know how it is.

hehe, @skenow is no fan of those image rotators either, but it's part of what some people expect nowadays.

I created a module called 'billboard' some time ago that allows you to add an image rotator to your site. It needs some work to get it up-to-date on the level of functionality and javascript library. I never had requests for a specific functionality, so I stopped working on it. If you are interested, I could spend some time into adding stuff. Let me know.

When it comes to themes with the functionality hardcoded : http://themes.impresscms.es/ should have some options for you.

Thanks! It's a little module that needs some TLC, I agree. Lots of small improvements possible. I'll have a look at doing some of them on a regular basis, and starting a more regular flow of releases.

Don't hesitate if you have some needs or proposals that you'd like to see added
