Well now all you need to do is port all the jquery implemented stuff in
prototype :( Rounding of the corners, downloads page and the splash
gallery.

I was really hoping you would stick with imagebox. If you don't have the

plain html version for the splashes, rather then messing with the
ugliness of imagebox.js.
