Lets Take A Look At Fisheye Menu Component v0.3
The Fisheye component is based around the concept of itemRenderer factories, just like the flex list and charting components. The goal is to use composition to separate behavior from content, so you can reuse the basic fisheye effect across many different applications and uses. It’s available under the MIT Open Source license, so feel free to use it or modify it in your own applications.
The Fisheye component uses a pattern that’s been coming up a lot lately where the intended layout of the component is not the same as the actual layout.
In this case, the fluid animation as you move the mouse across the component is built by migrating the actual layout of the renderers towards the intended layout (as determined by the mouse position) over time. You can check out how it will look in action 1D Demo and 2D Demo

AJAX Slideflow Control is an ajax based image gallery in which you can drag the Slideflow using your mouse, or click anywhere in the stack to jump there. Click inside the frame in order to enable mouse wheel and arrow key navigation! Or better yet, try the fullscreen example.
The photos and titles are read from an XML file, and the thumbnails are pre-generated using Photoshop actions (included in the download).
Drigg - Your Digg Clone Software In Drupal
We have already discussed about social networking softwares Let’s Take A Look On Some Of The Great Free And Open-Source Community/Networking Website Software. But in this post we introduce you with another free solution to build your own digg clone website.
Drigg is a powerful Drupal module that allows you to create Digg and Pligg-like web sites.
Unlike other Drupal-based solutions, Drigg only has two dependencies:
- user_karma — a simple karma module Drigg is based on. user_karma was written by the same author as Drigg, Tony Mobily
- A voting form - preferably extra_voting_forms.
Drigg can be download from here or you can see sample websites here or read the page about How to install Drigg to know exactly what to do - a pre-configured package will make your life easier if you’re not used to installing Drupal.
Features
- Flexible voting. Drigg works with any voting system based on VotingAPI. The default voting system Drigg uses, extra_voting_forms, The module allows you to pick from 4 different voting forms: select box, select box with negative votes only, up/down, up only (ala Digg)
- Easy, easy theming. Drigg provides a simple theme which just work, and is very easy to customise.
- STRONG separation between code and theme. Unlike other systems, Drigg separates the module’s logic and the presentation very carefully.
- Plays well with Drupal. You can set Drigg as your home page, or you can decide not to do that. This means that Drigg will play well with your existing web sites.
- Good code, easy bug fixing. Feel free to browse through the source: it’s neat, extremely well commented, and tidy. THismeans that finding bugs is easier.
- Flexible voting. Using extra_voting_forms, you can have N different voting forms for the same scoop. After voting, the others will grey out. This means for example that you can have a UP/DOWN form for a scoop, and then underneath a “select - negative values only” voting form for the same scoop.
- Flexible as hell. Drigg is just amazingly flexible. While it has fully working defaults, it allows you to customise it immensely.
- The power of Drupal. Drupal is a fantastic CMS. Once the system is setup, you will be able to install and use other Drupal modules as you like
- Automatic votingYou can set a number of users as the “bosses”, and other users as “slaves”. The system will make sure that the “slaves” assign a random number of votes to the nodes voted by the “bosses”. This will make it easier to startup your site without becoming schizophrenic
- Automatic role assignment.You can assign roles to people according to their karma amount, and (more importantly) to their karma ranking.
