Tutorials on image galleries and menus are my favorite, because these two things put some attractive look into your webpages. Thats why, from last few weeks I have created few tutorials on these topics here at my blog (99points)
Today, again I created an awesome jquery gallery which is transparent, fixed on screen, autoplay on/off buttons and css3 stylized gallery. I used simple jQuery functions and make them more clear by commenting the code and making them parametrized. I hope you can customized it easily but I would prefer you if you use it as it is with changing images. I really like this one and I hope you will like it. If you feel any problem in using it please do post your issue in comments area and I will reply you ASAP.
