These changes will need to be carefully tested/validated. If you want to take a look at an early early (!) prototype (!!), see http://multimedia-alpha.wmflabs.org/wiki/Lightbox_demo , but please note that anything but the basic view experience is placeholder right now (as is the "Details" icon etc.), and the caption-above-the-fold is not implemented yet. We've looked at some of this with folks at Wikimania, and the community feedback there was very positive. But like I said, give us a bit more time on this.
This looks much better! (though it appears to have problems with PNGs...)

Thanks Erik, I somehow missed this. It is indeed ample notification.
Cheers, Magnus
