Browsing record-covers: Coverflow
Undeniably inspired by the iPod Touch, I put together a WordPress plugin that displays covers in the ‘Coverflow’ fashion. The actual animated browser comes from Weber Design Labs (open source and brilliant), but I hacked it slightly, adding parameters specifying what posts to get using query arguments sent to dymanically generated xml file. I also changed the colours, reflection, and changed the slider from being images to being vectors (so that we can change the colours and scale it).
This is currently being used for the advanced search.
Here’s what it looks like.
Pretty!

Nice!
Almost as pretty in white as it was in black.
Thanks for the shout out.
Works nicely although maybe the scrollbar could be bigger.
