Custom Tag Cloud

...but it at least is a little better than the one that comes with WordPress.

Free version is not very customizable...

This plugin provides two tag clouds:
<ol>
<li>Display your tags in a spiral, starting outside from the most-used tags.</li>
<li>Display your tags in horizontal waves, starting left from the most-used tags.</li>
</ol>
These tag clouds can be inserted in posts and pages with shortcodes or in widget areas with widgets.
Please don’t expect the tag clouds to look perfect out of the box. There is a variety of parameters to fine-tune the size, the number of waves, cycles, distances and so on and you will need to adjust them to the number of tags, the available space and so on.
