either show or hide in the lightbox such
as the cantor which is for widgets with
multiple images such as the image
carousel and gallery widgets and ads an
image counts to the upper left corner of
the lightbox
full screen which adds a clickable icon
that allows users to open the image in a
full-screen lightbox zoom which allows
users to zoom in and pan across the
