I'd like a few options for controlling image characteristics and quality for this module.

- display size (fixed, or variable based on viewer's screen size)
- resize quality (low, medium, high, best)
- image quality (as a percentage: 75%, 95%, etc)

the thickbox module does not do any image transformations. it just embeddes the it in a javascript control html box on top of all the other page elements.
if images are actually be resized, this is done by the browser you are using, due to the Only local images are allowed. width and height settings. as far as i know, there is no specific way to tell different browsers how to resize images internally.

Ok, that's good to know, but the root issue remains: when thickbox overlays an image, and relies on the browser to resize it, the quality of the displayed image suffers.

That being the case, it would be useful if thickbox detected the size of the browser window, determined the size of the image to be displayed given the browser dimentions, and did a resize so the displayed image is of good quality.

Ultimately what I'm looking for is the best quality possible for the displayed image.

This module is just a wrapper for the jQuery plugin Thickbox.

I recommend you look through the documentation at http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/ and if you don't find what you are looking for go to http://codylindley.com/thickboxforum/ and make a feature request there.

Thanks for the pointer - that wasn't clear to me.
