Fade Background Plugin for cpg1.5.x

This plugin fades everything in cpg except for the intermediate photo. It adds its own navigation when faded then hides it while not faded. This allows you to have a similar experience as a light box only in the intermediate view. There is no configuration needed simply follow the instructions to upload a plugin. The "Fade Background" button will appear under the intermediate photo.

Tested in IE8, Opera 10.61, Chrome 5.0.375.126, and Firefox 3.6.8.

Updates:
Corrected Validation errors. v1.1 attached
Corrected Lang typo. v1.2 attached

Nice plugin

Is it possible to enable the overlay immediately if setFade=1 is submitted via the prev/next button?

If you view the first/last file, the next/prev button should disappear imo.

Thanks.

Won't be able to do anything until later today but I can look into taking the buttons out, it shouldn't be difficult.

As for the fade when viewing the next/previous photo, an immediate fade looks choppy because its loaded with javascript but I'll look into it more.

Good plugin, however there's a typo which breaks i18n:

Code Select Expand

Thanks for the feedback. Shouldn't have broken anything since only english.php exists. Corrected and attached in first post.
