We have mentioned Tinycon some time ago, which allows the addition of alert bubbles and changing the favicon image. Now, we got Piecon, which is a tiny javascript library for dynamically generating progress pie charts in your favicons.
Piecon has been tested on Chrome 15+, Firefox 9+, Opera 11+. And the library falls back to title updates for Internet Explorer 9 and Safari 5+. It is licensed under the MIT license. It is pretty handy for web applications I think.

The class was thought to be the most flexible possible: superimposing an infinity of images (to add watermark), rotating (and not just 45 / 90°), resizing, cropping (thumbnail). An ImageWorkshop object is a layer AND a group at the same time. It has got a background image and a stack of sublayers on the top of its background.

Flex is a fluid asymmetrical animated grid plugin for jQuery. You can mouse over the tiles to see them expand. Flex is an idea inspired by the old flash homepage on Adidas.com.
Jason English has been searching google for anything that resembled that effect, lead him to a few plugins that were similar, but not the same. He saw one person say it was “quite impossible”. Therefore, he has created this jQuery plugin for fun as a challenge. I hope you will find it useful too.

PaperFold is a simple iOS control that allows hiding of views on the left and right side of the screen by dragging the middle view. The left view supports only 1 fold. The right view supports variable number of folds.
During folding, a screen capture of the left/right view is taken, and split up depending on the number of folds required. The virtual light source is on the right side of the screen, so surfaces that faces the left are darker. For the right multi-fold view, the fold closes to the ‘force’ are opened up faster than the folds that is further away.
If you are wanting the paperfold effect for web applications only, Â you can also achieve a similar Paperfold Effect with JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3. The plugin takes a dom element, slices it into parts and arranges them like a folded paper in 3d space.
