Highslide seemed like the best option when we were including it(It was your idea I think, AFAIK I was inclined to make one myself and I failed laughably) but its licensing is kind of crappy, I mean it doesn't specify that if we buy the Commercial Unlimited license and distribute highslide with a software that may or may not be used for commercial purposes, what'd happen of highslide since it doesn't stop the user of the software to take highslide from the software and use it for themselves.

I've been analyzing the features of highslide and it doesn't seem that kind of hard to code one for myself(I'm inclined to do so not only because of their crappy license, but because it is 70KB and gzips to 20KB....wut?!), only problem being draggable and droppable since jQuery's plugins for them are very beefy.

Yeah, you could've taken the commercial unlimited license.

So you wanted an unlimited commercial license whereas they told you to not do that and instead let it be webmaster's responsibility? I actually prefer the latter option since you save your money(I see them billing quite a good amount since they can't be sure on how many sites your software will be used).

I don't think I follow, why would highslide discourage someone to pay to them and favor free things?

I ended up using highslide(Replaced jquery ui dialog and fancybox with it), I couldn't find a better alternative(My JS size remained more or less the same after gzipping and compression using google closure).

Very ugly? I don't know what you want but I find it very nice...
I don't know, it isn't as appealing as highslide.

The problem is I need a thumbstrip(Similar to what Highslide does) but Highslide is too fat. I plan on replacing 56KB of uncompressed JS(jQ.ui.dialog and jQ.fancybox) with whatever I find most similar and better in terms of features.

I'm looking for a nice and feature-full yet light(< 35KB uncompressed) lightbox for jQuery. Anyone got ideas?

Oh... in which case the only viable way is to have it requested via JS, where it's sending the user's width/height in the requesting URL and resize it on the fly in PHP or similar, if you're looking for truly closest.

Or have several images pre-sized, requesting the image from 'nearest'.


Background-size, while cool, doesn't work in IE yet to the best of my knowledge, which means you still need to find an alternative solution for the biggest userbase.
Thanks for the JPG suggestion.
Saving it as a JPG in 50 as quality made it 20KB without any visible quality loss. lol....
And I didn't know background-size is a CSS3 property until now, glad I don't use it much :P.

No, I meant sending a file which is closest to the user's width/height. Not resizing a overly large image in CSS(Which is done by background-size BTW).

I got a background(body) png image which is very large(It is about 1964 x 810 and weights 304KB). I am wondering if there's a way to skim it down to a smaller size or if there's a way to send an background image according to the user's screen size?

Don't worry he'll calm down in a week or two ;)
Hopefully, yeah.
