Sliding content effect on main page

I love the new site design (just noticed it today). Can anyone clue me in how the content slider thing on the home is being done? I’m referring to the "what is modx" / "why use modx" / "how does it work" element at the top of the page. I really love the functionality, and can’t seem to figure out how it works.

Thanks!

Take a look at these jQuery plug-ins (these are what’s being used):

You might also be interested in checking out these, which are very flexible and provide similar functionality:

I agree, this is a great effect. Do you know the font used in the slider?

I believe this is it:

font family: "Lucida Grande","Lucida Sans Unicode",Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif

PS: Try FireBug Inspect.

The rounded font is vag rounded rendered through FLIR.

Thanks guys,

BobRay, I did see that in the code but I don’t think it’s any of those.

I do think it might be vag rounded but I’m confused why it would be rendered by FLIR. Isn’t the text in the arrow section just from a jpg file? I can see it’s the font for the logo but the text in title area and arrow doesn’t seem rounded. Maybe it’s just because it’s thiner.

My bad. I should have realized FLIR was involved.
