Animations - expand height, then width?

Is there currently a way to cause floatbox to animate in the old Lightbox2 style where it starts with a white square on a dark background with the loading image, and once the content is loaded the height expands and then the width? I'm not dead set on this behaviour but I'd like to know the scope of Floatbox's animation customisability and I didn't see anything like this in http://floatboxjs.com/options.php

Oh and way OT here, there are links on http://floatboxjs.com/ to http://floatboxjs.com/options.html which is kinda 404. Fortunately the 300 page catches it and you end up at the right spot but you might like to fix those links if you don't know about 'em.

In a word: no.

Previous versions of floatbox had the ability to resize width and height independently. With the introduction of the zoomImageStart, startAtClick and liveImageResize options, the two-phase resizing gets quite challenging to implement. Too much additional code and too much time to write it - especially since I personally think the simultaneous resizing of width, height, left and top together is the visually preferable technique.

Thanks for catching those wonky links. Gotta get me a link-checker...

OK can't hurt to ask :) Personally I think the two-phase behaviour is more elegant but it's obviously an individual thing and I can live without it. I use xenu for link checking, just have to look past the aliens and conspiracy theories that come with it :roll:
