Help me find a WordPress plugin...
I am looking for a WordPress plugin that will give me a horizontal-sliding featured gallery like:
http://img.skitch.com/20090628-bwxih7t8ftkrf9bafwuifgbux8.jpg
I want something similar to the feature on the Remedy WP theme, but need to keep my existing theme and add that section. The Remedy theme can be seen in action here: http://web2feel.com/remedy/
Any ideas?

I think the best plugin you're going to find is the Dynamic Content Gallery plugin unless you're willing to code or at least install something yourself.
And remember to always try the WordPress plugin directory.

Thank you for the follow up on the instructions! It is exactly what I was looking for!
Just a thought- have you thought about just pulling the code off the Remedy theme? Sure, it wouldn't be a plugin, but You could just add it to header or main page template or something
Here's a website with a list of featured content sliders for WP:
http://wpstart.org/featured-content-sliders-for-wordpress/
and here's one (mentioned on the above site) which I thought was very similiar (though its not a plugin, just teh how to with code)
http://graphpaperpress.com/2009/03/15/jquery-sliding-content-wordpress/
http://wpstart.start-1.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/2009-05-06_220159.jpg
and here's another one (also from site) which uses Java and is a Plugin

BTW, Thanks for a link to the Remedy theme- I've been looking for a theme like that..

I think the first one I mentioned could be close-
http://graphpaperpress.com/2009/03/15/jquery-sliding-content-wordpress/
just change the dimensions, remove the text and they could be cousins. The only major difference is the mouse over effect, but that can be turned off...
The second one- well- I don't know what I was thinking- its not even close..
I did try and grab the code from Remedy, but without a nicely formatted page to drop it into, it didn't perform..

A few links for you:
Wordpress extensions directory (all) http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/
And here is a gallery/flash type integration plugin that you might find useful based on your request: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/
Best of luck!

Thanks Dana.
I searched the WordPress plugin directory and other sites for a good few hours before asking for help here. Unfortunately nothing listed there was what I was looking for.

I took a quick look at the HTML & javascript of http://web2feel.com/remedy/
This seems to be the code that they are using.
It is called 'Step Carousel Viewer'. There are a couple of examples on how to implement this carousel in your blog. I think it's a free script (at least there's no sign that says it's not free)
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/stepcarousel.htm
If you want to do this yourself you need to know 3 things:
* How to edit your wordpress template
* How to add javascript / CSS to your template
* How to edit the CSS to change the color of your carousel.
So if you're comfortable with editing it yourself or if you know someone who is. This might be a good solution
