   I have experimented with different lightbox plugins and keep coming back to using this plugin. It is certainly one of the better ones.

   Which style is best suited to use the title of the image and the caption within the lightbox.

   Is there one?

   I like the plugin very much just trying to enhance my photos with better descriptions and titles in the lightbox.

   WordPress.com uses a lightbox that showcases the caption under the image where it can read very nicely.

   thanks for any insight or helpful links.

   Hi Oscar,

   I am also looking for a way to display more or all image information in an overlay. Have you had any success with this?

   Thanks

   Hi there.

   Also looking for a way to have image descriptions visible.

   The only solution I have found so far is using the optional attribute title= "insert text here" but this solution is not elegant. It would be really neat if the actual img title, caption and descriptions as given under media settings could be toggled on / attributed easily to the lightbox image view.

   I'm working on custom css atm (as the title attribute position is all messed up) and will get back if the solution is any good.

   Have you found a solution to this?

   I am also looking for a way to display image description in the bottom of the lightbox.

   <a href="<?php echo $link[0]; ?>" class="lightbox" rel="lightbox[]" title="<?php the_title();?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('gallery-thumb'); ?></a>

   I was finally able to get the image title to appear by using the above.

   in case you guys are interested to display multi line titles
   (for the titles, we can put html in it also)
   tweak the #cboxContent, add margin-bottom(you'll have to calculate yourself)
   to support multiple lines

   this is a quick hack... hvnt the time to dissect the jquery of the colorbox behind it

   Your suggestion works (get more space for multiline content) but the frame around the image is not continued.
   Any ideas?
   I s... don't like css, any help is appreciated.
   Thanks.
