I think I have just found the ultimate lightbox.  Light Window 2.0.  I have already blogged 2 articles on this type of Light Box technology.. but I just cannot resist the urge to write a little bit more on the topic. The old articles are:

LiteBox OffSprings - Slimbox, ThickBox, GreyBox and LyteBox
Image Rendering with LiteBox

Well, in terms of physical appearance, it looks pretty similar to the good old-fashion ones and their deviants.  What really rocks is that the Light Window supports a whole range of media from Quicktime Movie to SWF to PDFs…  You just got to check it out LightWindow.
