Examples of how you can alter the behaviour on the fly; Effect: | Toggle slideshow

Features

Choose effect, should the image slide in, or fade in?

jQuery call returns gallery instances, which enables you to change settings on the fly like the "Change to fade effect" link above
Keyboard arrows to move back and forth
Click on the edge of the big image to go to the next/previous
Images are preloaded, and if the aren't finished loading when they are supposed to be displayed, a loading image will appear
Slideshow count down only begins when the image has loaded and is visible
Image title, can either be set in the title attribute, or in elm.data('ad-title', 'My title here'). $.data takes precedence over the title attribute
Image descriptions, can either be set in the longdesc attribute, or in elm.data('ad-desc', 'My description here'). $.data takes precedence over the longdesc attribute
Callbacks on different events that has access to the internal object, which means that you can access all internal methods, etc
Takes the dimensions of the image container div and scales down images that are larger than it
