I wasn't sure which section this should go in and am not sure whether or not this counts as an unsupported extension, but thought I'd ask anyway.
I have been playing with the Spotlight lightbox and like it very much except there does not appear to be any way to add navigation buttons (forward and back) to the lightbox. Am I missing something obvious? The images swipe fine on a mobile device, but I can't find a way to manually advance on a touchscreen disabled device.
Has anyone perhaps found a tweak for this? I did look at the code on GitHub and can't see what I'd need to add.
Any help welcome. I know that other lightboxes have the buttons, but it's this one in particular that I'd like to use.
Thanks.

Re: Spotlight Lightbox - Forward & Back Controls?
Thanks. Curious to know why they aren't there by default, though.
