Nivo Slider

* If you look for kickass effect slider take a look a the new Advanced Slider : It's like nivo but with many more effects *

Nivo Slider looks like Flash but uses the built in stability of jQuery. It can display and slide pictures from your fileset with or without caption title. Visit the Showcase page of the creator for more information.

This block features:

•  15 unique transitions to choose from or have them randomly applied. *new*
• Configurable slideshow speed, image display time and number of slices.
• Optional bullet or thumbnail navigation.
• Optionally link each image to a separate url.
• Optional keyboard navigation and pause on hover controls.
• External CSS file for easy customization.

Usage:

Works well for headers, slideshow, and slide and works anywhere on your page. Images should be pre-sized for your layout to avoid cropping.

Note : I think that they are a small bug when the admin bar is displayed : the slidedown slices are cutted. Let me know if you are the same bug. No problem when the site is not an edit mode !
