A fullscreen background slideshow plugin based on Jay Salvat's Vegas Background jQuery Plugin. You can see a working demo at http://vegas.jamesdbruner.com/

What Can This Plugin Do?

You can use it to

  • Create a fullscreen slideshow
  • Create a fullscreen background (single slide)
  • That's about it... It does use the new media uploader and you can drag and drop your images to rearrange them which is kind of cool.

This plugin does one thing and one thing only, to keep it small yet fully functional.
