I like the gallery block lightbox plugin because it lets readers see the images full screen.
I’ve just realised that there’s a big lack of functionality though when I post images which are big and contain lots of small text.
Users want to zoom in on the image – it works on mobile with gestures, but on desktops, I assumed you should be able to using CTRL + but it stops once the picture fills the screen, so I can’t zoom in further.
For example, if you look on the linked webpage under the “More Resources” subtitle, there’s a gallery with the lightbox. This image:
On my desktop screen, the image in the lightbox does not fill the entire screen. When I use CTRL + then it enlarges, but only until it fits the screen, and then no more.
So you can see I have a problem with another image in the same lightbox:
It already fills the screen, so using CTRL + does nothing, yet if you open it in a new tab i.e. not in a lightbox, then CTRL + allows you to zoom right in and read the small print.
So only limited zoom ability, or at least the way I configured it. Should it be possible?
