Danland theme is great, thanks for the hard working! However, is there anyway to create whitehouse.gov kind of slideshow, in other words, add description/content to the left/right side of rotated picture and include the thumbnails, so, when the pictures rotate, the description/content change as well and there are thumbnails of the pictures. Thanks!

There are several slideshows build on views that do this. Views Slideshow and Dynamic Display Block/Views are options. The link Dan posted http://drupal.org/node/755010 is to the docs for Views Slideshow.

From looking at their code, they are using Node Queue also, to set up the order of the slideshow. There is a writeup somewhere on groups.drupal.org on the WH site design and launch from a presentation at Drupalcon SF. It's heavily customized, but the core components started out stock.

I'm going to implement a very similar slideshow. The main difference is that I will add pause & play buttons and two buttons for change the direction of the slideshow: backwards and forward.

If somebody has been successful please share how you did it.

Anyway, I will post here the solution I find.
