For anyone who liked the original Slimbox, a lightweight version of Lightbox there is a new release as of 31/12/08
This release runs on jQuery rather than mootools.
Christophe Beyls, the guy behind Slimbox says the new release “Slimbox 2 is a 4 KB visual clone of the popular Lightbox 2script by Lokesh Dhakar, written using the jQuery javascript library. It was designed to be very small, efficient, standards-friendly, fully customizable, more convenient and 100% compatible with the original Lightbox 2.”
It is currently the smallest Lightbox-like script available for the jQuery library, and is faster than the original Slimbox
It’s pretty easy to setup, and gives a great, useable effect for displaying images fron thumbnails.
