lightbox for overlays

[alasdair17]

hey @arminunruh, are lightboxes unable to be used in overlay pages? cheers

[arminunruh]

that is correct!

[alasdair17]

would you ever consider allowing lightboxes to be used in overlays or would it just cause hassle with the overlay feature?

[arminunruh]

mh im just not too sure if its a good use case, i just wonder how many people would really use this or why you would use it.
the overlay feature was made to be able to have a little "contact" or "about page" slide in.
why would you want to use the overlay like this?

[alasdair17]

@arminunruh yeah you've got a point for sure! Perhaps i'm being a bit ambitious with the overlays! I just love the way it slides content out at such a quick speed and the ability to close quick as well.

I suppose it would be useful if you had smaller images in the overlay that you wanted to enlarge. However, I understand if it wouldn't be used by many folk and or a hassle to code.

i think what you're looking for is we just need a new transition for pages/projects in general and it should also include a back button like on my company website i redesigned:

[alasdair17]

@arminunruh yes absolutely! I would love that transition for laytheme.

[arminunruh]

yea i will work on it one day, not sure when :O

[alasdair17]

@arminunruh hey Armin, do you think this transition effect could be implemented in the next few months? would be really cool to use it for my website. Cheers.

[arminunruh]

maybe, idk! don't know when i will work on it :)
got many other things i need to do!

[alasdair17]

@arminunruh no worries!
