## Beschreibung

Add a stunning lightbox to your website in seconds with Distinctive Lightbox.

Distinctive Lightbox is a lightweight, so you can expect no bloat here. Build using
pure JavaScript, the plugin does not require additional libraries such as jQuery–
meaning your users are only served the JS they need.

### Features Overview

 * Easy to use. The plugin can be activated on any link which leads to an image,
   or even just links with the class you choose – its up to you.
 * Works with images & YouTube/Vimeo videos out of the box.
 * Show you media meta data (image title/description) via user-controllable captions,
   automatically.
 * Choose opening/closing/sliding animations to suit your tastes.
 * Image captions can be positioned to suit your needs.

### About the plugin

As with most good plugins, Distinctive Lightbox was created to fulfil a need we (
[DistinctivePixels](https://www.distinctivepixels.com/)) 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.

## FAQ

Simply install and head to the plugins setting to configure how you would like Distinctive
Lightbox to operate.

### What media does Distinctive Lightbox support?

Currently, images and youtube/vimeo videos can all be shown in our lovely lightbox.

### Sound like the plugin is heavy, is it?

No, not at all. We made Distinctive Lightbox to be as lightweight as it is simple
to use, so much so that we dont even require jQuery! Just our lean and mean JavaScript.
