Importance: 
From 0.7.1, the default view changed to Colorbox due to the license regulation by the plugin directory. If you would prefer the prior Lightbox to Colorbox, you need to get the script from the setting page.
The Lightbox Gallery plugin changes the view of galleries to the lightbox.
<ul>
<li>Lightbox display of Gallery</li>
<li>Tooltip view of caption of images </li>
<li>Displays the associated metadata with images</li>
<li>Divides Gallery into several pages</li>
<li>Extends the default Gallery options</li>
<li>Additional settings are set in the option page</li>
<li>Switch to the Highslide JS display</li>
</ul>
You can also make regular images appear in a lightbox. See Faq.

<h3>How to use</h3>
How to use this plugin is basically the same as the way to add [gallery] which has been adopted 
by over WordPress 2.5. Lightbox Gallery plugin automatically converted the default view of gallery 
into the lightbox view. Photo captions are displayed as tooltips. Photo descriptions are displayed 
when the lightbox pops up.
<h3>Advanced settings</h3>
There are three additional options to extend the shorttag [gallery].
<ul>
<li>lightboxsize</li>
</ul>
The image size when the lightbox pops up. The default is medium, but you can change to full.
[gallery lightboxsize=”full”]
<ul>
<li>meta</li>
</ul>
Defines whether the exif information is displayed. The default is false. 
If you want to show the photo info, set true. The exif shown on the lightbox includes camera body, 
aperture, focal length, shutter speed, and created timestamp.
[gallery meta=”true”]
<ul>
<li>class</li>
</ul>
Adds a class attribute of the gallery. The default is <code>gallery1</code>.
[gallery class=”gallery2″]
<ul>
<li>nofollow</li>
</ul>
Adds the attribute, rel=”nofollow”. The default is false.
[gallery nofollow=”true”]
<ul>
<li>from, num</li>
</ul>
Defines from which and how many photos are displayed.

Lightbox Gallery

Really, nothing works as expected, looks broken and counter-intuitive. 

It is beyond any definition of bad

The Lightbox Gallery plugin changes the view of galleries to the lightbox.
