UPDATE: Now works on the Flickr "All Sizes" pages.
UPDATE 2: Nasty bug has been fixed where the z-index and position were not returned to normal values properly. This caused issues with other plug-ins and overlays generated by the Flickr pages.
It has been reported that there may be issues with using this in Opera 9.21 - I will check this out and issue and update later today.
1. About
--------
This script adds the Adobe Lightroom "Lights Out" functionality to a Flickr photo page. The lights out functionality causes the browser window (with the exception of the photo) to be overlayed with a semi-transparent medium grey image. Upon a second click, the browser window is completely
blacked out.
I suggest you test this out on some nice black and white images in one of the Flickr B&W pools.
2. Usage
--------
Simply install the script and it will add a new "Lights Out" button to the button bar on Flickr photo pages. Clicking the button causes the script to activate, then clicking anywhere on the page moves to the next stage - try it out, works great!
3. Compatibility
----------------
Has been tested with Opera 9 and Firefox 2.0.0.3. The script should work in any browser that supports GreaseMonkey scripts.
4. Options
----------
Users have a number of options as to how dark the first transparent image should be, it is currently set to 70% transparent, although URI's are included for an 80%, and 90% transparent image.
Anyone that would like the first "semi-transparent" phase to be darker, simply has to change the line in the code that says "newDiv.src = lightImg;" to "newDiv.src = darkImg;", or "newDiv.src = darkerImg;" to change to the darker images.
