Really decent plugin

I tried some lightbox plugins, with mixed results: two of them produced PHP errors, two didn’t show any captions, three came with extravagant styling that didn’t fit my theme or exaggerated animations I didn’t want…

This one has convinced me. Sensible default settings, unobtrusive styling, no advertising – just does what it should do in the background without imposing its own style and philosophy on your website. The only thing I changed via CSS was making the font size for captions a bit larger.
