Content slider

 

The Content slider is a web part that can be used for displaying various document types, hence it is also very suitable for displaying images. Contrary to the previous two web parts, the Content slider provides no thumbnail view. It displays a full sized image slide show with a pager below. The pager allows for browsing through the images using the numbered buttons. After clicking any of these buttons, the slide show stops and the Start button appears. This button launches the slide show again.
