Sure enough, I grabbed the wrong example to start with. <g> I just tried the right lightbox control and it did in fact assign itself to the grid, but there was no transparency. Don't know why that is. Also, as in the first two attempts, the drawing of the png is annoyingly slow. My machine's a core 2 duo with a fast video card, so it should be pretty quick.

I've set the backcolor of the grid's columns in the short term, but it doesn't have the same polished effect as what you've done with the lightboxes.

Any thoughts?
