PrettyPhoto

PrettyPhoto is a jQuery lightbox clone. Lightbox is a way of showing images in a modal window on top of your web site content.

Lightbox galleries are very popular when presenting images, and here is a jQuery clone using the same principle. Usage is really simple, just include the scripts and add rel="prettyOverlay" to any picture you want to activate. If you want the images to be a part of a gallery, just add the gallery name in braket, like rel="prettyOverlay[gallery]".

Personally, I don't care much for the rounded corners but I'm sure there is an easy way to clear them.
