Making images open in a new window really sucks. So, what you do is you look into the jQuery library for a script that would provide what you want. Didn’t take long and the outcome was FancyBox. FancyBox, by me, is made up of three things. jQuery, Lightbox and FancyZoom. Since it is a mixture of all of them, I called it FancyBox.

Now what is FancyBox? It is a jQuery based script that will make thumbnailed images zoom up and enlarge. Best way to understand what I am talking about is to look at the demo.

You can take a look at this awesome thing in a demo page I made in iWeb:

Please only view this in FireFox and Safari on a Mac. These are the only things with which I have tested it. Camino fails completely. :-D

I’ll open up the scripts as soon as I get it to work properly. That means I will have a pack for those who enjoy coding themselves and then I will have it integrated right into the next major update on iTweak! Yep – the next major update for iTweak, not the 1.2 version. You’ll see this stuff coming soon.

The more you nag me, the higher the chance I get this stuff done. I am kind of a person who always shifts things to the last minute, so tell me to be faster. :-D
