Nope...

No - I'm sorry if my posting was misleading to you. The current
implemented approach (imagebox - check the trunk) sets style attributes
in Javascript code, which is awkward IMHO and can become a pain to
maintain.

The lightbox thingy let you customize the size entirely in CSS instead
of messing with the Javascript code. Currently the screenshots are much
wider than most of the screens so we're using the 'max-width' CSS
attribute to scale them down to 800px (which might be awkward of some sort
..). Anyways, the lightbox approach seems to be much cleaner using CSS
instead of customizing the JS code ...
