If I scroll part way down a long page and then click on a lightbox link, the lightbox uses it's "distance from top" attribute to put it that many pixels below the currently displayed section of page. Is there a way to set "distance from top" to be an absolute value, so no matter how far down your long page you are, the lightbox will show in the same absolute place.
Yes I realise that in some situations this would mean people will need to scroll back up to see the lightbox. That's okay by me, I have arranged other things (pictures etc) on my page so that the lightbox fits snugly in between them, so absolute positioning is important.

thanks

There should be a setting under the 'Advanced settings > Skin settings' section of admin/settings/lightbox2 that does that.

no, that's the "distance from top" attribute i am talking about. i have set that to 150px. it displays the lightbox starting 150 pixels from the top of the currently displayed section of page. i.e. if I have scrolled down the page so that say 300pixels are not visible anymore because they are above the top of the computer screen, then the lightbox will be displayed 150px from the top of the currently viewed area, which is 450px from the top of the page.

I want it to display the top of the lightbox 150pixels from the top of the page itself.
