About the plugin
As with most good plugins, Distinctive Lightbox was created to fulfil a need we (DistinctivePixels) had for a bloat-free, simple to use lightbox that works just as well on a desktop as it does in the palm of your hand.
Although a few others offer some good options, we felt we could do better – so here we have our offering.
We wanted the plugin to be as easy to setup as possible, and once its setup, you should be able to forget it. With that the mind we have made the plugin very flexible in how you can turn a regular link into a lovely lightbox.
Want any link which which leads to an image to be a lightbox? No problem! You just want links with a specific class or ID to trigger them? You got it!
The same goes for YouTube/Vimeo links – some other plugins make a fuss over this, or even worse, dont support them! Not here, just like for images, if you want the plugin to sniff out these links and turn them into something pretty – we got you.
