I’ve used scripty lightbox before and can get it to function fine but I was wondering how you go about styling the border, the ‘close’ link and also add next and previous buttons to the large image set up so that you can scan through the other images without having to close windows.
I guess that this would make it more of a slideshow than just a lightbox.
I’ve looked through the forums and can’t find anything under any obvious topics relating to this.
If you control-click on the relevant elements while you’re looking at them in a browser, you can see the CSS declarations that control these elements. (You’ll need to have enabled the Safari Develop menu in Safari/Preferences/Advanced first.) Then it’s a matter of hand-coding the necessary CSS to make these elements appear differently. You’ll probably need to add !important declarations to your styles, although try it without first.
As to the previous/next, that’s actually been deliberately removed from the JavaScript library, because there was no decent way to map its functionality onto the Freeway interface. It’s a case of editing for simplicity. There is always Showcase, which does offer the previous/next controls.

I’ll have a look at the coding bit and see what I can do. I’ve been using Firefox and the Firebug extension so I’ll see what I can work out.
I had tried Showcase on a couple of sites. Its a great addition but as ever I was looking at a way to modify the control graphics and their positions within the slideshow box. Is this possible or is this another bit of coding to be done?
