I have been spending about 7 hours today, trying to:

a) Create my own carousel using intensive javascript and CSS3 features (see this pastebin)

b) Setup and integrate the Roundabout plugin from FredHQ

c) Setup and integrate the Cloud Carousel plugin from Professor Cloud

Both third party solutions were tried because i failed in accomplishing what i wanted by myself. Unfortunately, both solutions do not work the way i would require them to. Both are amazing for displaying images, but i need to show more complex content, a heavily styled DIV with multiple encapsulated DIVs inside, PNGs with transparency, and so forth.

FredHQ’s version did not work as it did not scale the content inside my DIVs. Not even the text was scaled, until i removed the font-size parameter, but that is something i need for a proper layout. Cloud’s version works with images only.

I have hit a wall and i cannot seem to find any other solution. It seems the word “carousel” is used for slideshows and sliders, so i find hundreds of such solutions, but not one that works like i need it to.

What i need is decreasing opacity on further objects, while the center one is at full opacity. Also further objects should be scaled down by certain scale factors. It does not have to be 3D (not desired, even), but due to the scaling it would look 3d-like.

It does not have to be jQuery, although its probably a good idea if it is.

Does anybody know or can anyone point me to a proper solution?

    Have you looked at monete(git), http://www.jacklmoore.com/monte? 184 line. Not sure you’ll find something easier to dig into and make it work your way. Hundreds of solutions? So I’ll take it you looked at the cycle plugin as well. That’s probably one of the most mature and robust ones out there. You’re asking for a lot in your question and these kind of question just wear people out after a while. That’s all.

    You probably won’t find anything that fits your needs EXACTLY and you’ll have to roll it yourself or hire someone. If you get something going and come back for specific help, you’ll fair much better.
