Lightbox

<p>This simple plugin brings the WordPress gallery to a higher level by adding a nice justified image grid and a pretty lightbox.<br />
<strong>Just install and activate the plugin. That’s all.</strong></p>
<p>Create galleries as before, but enjoy the <strong>responsive layout</strong>, beautiful <strong>justified image grid</strong> and handy <strong>lightbox</strong>.</p>
<p>I love the native WordPress gallery. It’s easy to use and as intuitive as possible. Everything would be perfect if it were not for the column layout and lack of lightbox. Many themes display the WordPress gallery in an ugly and “no eye-catching” way. This was my inspiration to write this simple plugin.</p>
