 * It seems there is no option to force some scaling so images can be displayed 
   correctly also on smaller screens.
    To have an image displayed not bigger than
   70% of the screen (width or height) how can this be achieved with jQuery Lightbox?

 * Btw.. there is a scaling option but no value can be set eg. 80%, 70% or something?

 * Wrong. Check the options page for `Shrink large images to fit smaller screens`

 * Unless you edit the javascript, you can’t. The plugin is meant to maximize viewing
   area within a given display surface. If you want to arbitrarily limit the viewing
   size, upload smaller images.

 * It’s a pixel margin value. Ergo: just enter the number. This setting is only 
   there to enforce a “gutter” between the lightbox and the edge of the display,
   for users who prefer to click the greyed-out background to close an image rather
   than using the “close”-button inside the lightbox.
