 * I am probably being stupid but it seems I can either have ‘lightbox’ where the
   chosen image is enlarged with a rather distracting white box around it, and with
   a back and next arrow.
 * Or one other option where the chosen image is enlarged more on a black background
   that crops the top of each image (unless you click on it again) and then you 
   have to click on the image again to access the forward and backward arrows, the
   slideshow play or exit. This 2nd option is what I get when I choose any of the
   other lightbox effects. Am I missing something?
 * Have tried downloading Cleaner Gallery plugin to give extra lightbox options 
   but can’t get that to integrate.
 * Would be grateful for any advice on how I could get more lightbox display options.(
   Would like to display on black background but not have to double click in order
   to get functionality)

 * Lately I’ve been recommending the following :
 * Now I use jQuery Lightbox (balupton edition).
 * [http://balupton.github.com/jquery-lightbox/demo/](http://balupton.github.com/jquery-lightbox/demo/)
 * You’ll see the download.
 * After the plugin has been installed you find jQuery Lightbox in the setting section
   of the admin bar.
 * Good luck.
