Why another light-’whatever’?

After researching every single modal window, lightbox, slimbox, etc out there nothing fit the bill. Granted some of them were very nice but only fit a specific purpose, others were a nightmare on the code end, and others were just hacks of another. None of them truly supported all of the features we needed and those that were close could not be easily adapted without a bottle of Prozac near by.

Other caveats were the complete lack of ability to style and position the system, and the insane over-kill of some of the systems trying to reproduce either another desktop (As if most computer users aren’t confused enough) or the reproduction of a popup window (Show me someone who likes popup windows…). Lastly, most people didn’t actually test for their media types and how they behaved in other browsers and operating systems (Yes the movies and Flash work in Firefox for the Mac).

Because of Media problems and MAJOR flickering in Firefox on the Mac, you will not only need to specify a color for opacity but create a PNG to repeat that is the same opacity for this one situation, included is a 70% as you see on this page.

What are all of the features?
