We just released a new lightbox mode called Vertical lightbox.

The vertical lightbox gives you an immersive experience as users view your photos or reviews in a full-screen, vertical format. This allows them to browse through the content easily and quickly find what they’re looking for. And since it’s a vertical layout, the design ensures that all of your content is presented in its best possible form.
