I thought about this a bit more and came to the conclusion, that using
both worlds (jquery + lightbox) might be better to support a broader
range. Depending on more than one libraries won't be a big problem for
computers today. The scripts create a semi-transparent background layer,
which sucks more on the computers perfomance than depending on more than
one lib.
The libraries we depend on will only be included in the pages with
screenshots or images in general. The other pages won't load them
anyways.
Is imagebox really that horrible? ;) But yea, in the end it's a matter
of letting the one who's willing to do the dirty work to decide.
I haven't looked at it carefully enough to elaborate a clean way of
adding the scaling. I'm just afraid of hacking the scaling to this
script and we will stuck with it, because migrating to newer versions of
this script will become unmaintainable.
If you think you can unbreak the current state, I'm willing to depend on
both prototype and jquery on the screenshots and splash pages. We can
always revert to the current state that's not so nice to safari people.
Alright - if I can find some more time I try to check the imagebox again
