WP jQuery Lightbox

This plugin lets you keep the awesome Lightbox 2-functionality, but sheds the bulk of the Prototype Framework and Scriptaculous Effects Library.

Warren Krewenki ported Lightbox to jQuery and this plugin is mostly a wrapper to his work: providing localization support, an admin panel for configuration, (optional) auto-boxing of your image links and support for WordPress galleries, including media library titles and captions.

This version is also adjusted for mobile devices;

• Swipe gestures for flicking between images on touch devices
• Improved scaling maximizes use of screen space
• Live adjustment to the browser window and orientation of your phone

See the plugin in action here: game.speldesign.uu.se

You can browse images with your keyboard: Arrows, P(revious)/N(ext) and X/C/ESC for close.
