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.
