Hi,

Thanks for your great script! :)

I took the liberty (this is the power of open source ;) ) to modify the script to better suit my needs.

I replaced the base64 png 1x1 grey image with a black one, so that the background is now completely black. (A very dark grey might have been better, but black was easier to do.)
I also changed the caption's font color to a darker grey.
I didn't find how to change the 'show this image in its original context' font, so I replaced it with '...' to make it less visible.
I also removed the rounded border.

Basically, I removed everything that distracted me from the photo. :)

My modified version is here (apparently the unicode characters didn't get messed up):

There's a diff here (I removed the translation section, due to a ¿65535 character? limit)

PS: I also restored the facebook section that you commented out, because I wanted to have a 'lights out' script to use on Facebook. (The Cooliris plugin works well too, but is much slower to load.)

I tweaked it a little further by using opacity attributes, lines 972 and 992.
