Basic Protected Lightbox vs Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes – NextGEN Gallery

This plugin provides a very lightweight, minimalist, jQuery-based lightbox for displaying full-screen versions of the images from WordPress galleries. It also gives some basic copy protection that should foil relatively unmotivated image thieves by inserting a transparent overlay over the lightbox and all gallery thumbnails. This will prevent people from copying images in your galleries via right-click or drag-and-drop. It’s not a true preventative measure, in that someone who really wants to download copies of your images will most likely find a different way, but it is a little more secure than linking directly to the full resolution versions. Image copying is pretty much impossible to fully prevent aside from just not publishing your work in the first place; my goal with this plugin is to find a good middle ground.

Features Minimalist and lightweight: the 3 public-facing files are only about 8KB total Mobile-friendly with swipe gesture support Prevents some common image download methods with a transparent overlay Works immediately and seamlessly with the WordPress default gallery block
