Figure 1: After applying the Carousel ADT, your pictures are displayed as a carousel slideshow.
The Media Gallery application is transformed into a carousel slideshow. At this time, it’s perfectly natural to be experiencing “I can conquer the world” feelings, just as Liferay’s mascot, Ray, exudes in the image above. ADTs have that kind of power to transform your site into an enjoyable and convenient home for users.
