Today, V2.2 is available and it brings cool new features, improvements and bug fixes for our premium themes.

The most remarkable new feature is a brand new lightbox plugin, Lightgallery, which is lightweight and quite handy lightbox for images, videos and galleries. Before, Magnific Popup lightbox plugin was being used for premium themes and Lightgallery is a new addition as a user friendly, slick alternative. Most importantly, it provides support for embed videos and image zoom in feature.

Lightgallery is activated by default but if you prefer stick to Magnific Popup, you can activate it from Northeme > Lightbox Settings at your WP dashboard.

Here are the features of Lightgallery :

• Embed video support
• Touchswipe and Mousedrag activated
• Zoom in / out buttons
• Optional thumbnails (w/ center or left alignment options)
• Slide animations
• Fullscreen button

See lightbox demo here (click on an image to activate lightbox) :
