Recommended lightweight jQuery lightbox plug-in?

Question

I need a lightbox plugin that is styled similar to FancyBox but will allow me to add text to the same white background as the image. Lightweight because I don't want many features as it's going to be added to an already heavy JS page. Preferably without Ajax features as I'll be handling this myself.

Therefore I'm ruling out the use of Thickbox, Fancybox and jQuery UI.

Basically I want the plugin to be a currently supported light-box jQuery plug-in that handles all the cross browser styling issues which I can then customise.

I really like the look of this newly released overlay. Looks nice and lightweight too.
