I'm afraid I've got a little mistake in previous post. I forgot to include the file init.js. This file is needed ONLY if you decide to install jquery mod of lightbox the way I described in the readme file. In other cases you need not init.js script.
Though here is the code:

$(document).ready(function(){
$("a[rel^='prettyOverlay'],a[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto({
animationSpeed: 'fast', /* fast/slow/normal */
padding: 40, /* padding for each side of the picture */
opacity: 0.4, /* Value betwee 0 and 1 */
showTitle: true, /* true/false */
allowresize: true /* true/false */
});
});


Place this file into catalog/lightbox. This file is for settings only. The general idea is to separate settings of lightbox from main lightbox script. In this case you need not reset settings after installation of new version of lightbox.

AGAIN: This is only for jquery which is installed as I described in previous post.

Sorry my bad english, hope I gave clear instruction.

ONLY init.js SCRIPT IS ATTACHED.
