I'm desperately searching a script like this:

Can anyone help me? :)

And you don't want to pay for it? This question seems a little odd to me-- are you asking us to remake the code for free, so that you get it for free and we do extra work? Or just hoping to find a free version of that. What exactly do you want from that? You can't find that exact layout for free... it's copyrighted, for one thing.

No no, i'm not searching the layout. I'm searching the script for making a background-image slideshow like the theme.

Oh, I see. Next time, please explain a bit more in your post so we know what you're looking for. (I see now that it was in the title as well, but I wasn't quite sure what you were asking for.)

That's a good question. I haven't seen too many scripts like that.

Honestly, it wouldn't be too hard to write that, and you could borrow some functions from an existing script. Just change the SRC of the background image rather than an <img> tag.

There are a couple scripts here that might work out for you (with proper styling and maybe some changes):

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/bgcarousel.htm

The first one is probably closest. By changing just the styles in that script, I think you can make it work. Set it to 100% width/height, and see what it looks like from there.

Do you know how put the 'fade effect' in the script?
