Glimmer is a desktop application that allows you to easily create interactive elements on your web pages by harnessing the power of the jQuery library. It allows you to easily create interactive experiences like rotating photo-galleries/mastheads,drop-down navigation, hover effects, or custom animations.

Without having to write any JavaScript code, you can use Glimmer’s design wizards to generate jQuery scripts. Glimmer also has an advanced mode, providing a design surface for creating jQuery effects based on your existing HTML and CSS. It is also extensible; if you know WPF you can write a design wizard that plugs into Glimmer. In addition to design wizards you can also write a Glimmer effect. Currently, Glimmer ships with 8 effects, which include things like opacity animation, x position animation, add CSS class, etc.
Developed by Tim Aidlin and Karsten Januszewski; Glimmer is freely downloadable & open source Windows desktop application(Different license terms apply to different file types). You can find further information, demo & download on Glimer’s Website.
