It looks nice but
- it works only with a public Picasa album
- unlisted album can not be accessed by the authkey
- picture caption should be croped to picture with like in the Picasa gallery

Based on the demo site, this module looked very promising. However:
The instructions are vague.
There is no support channel.
The demo site shows images displayed within an article, however there are no instructions on how to do so.
The demo site also indicates there are two options, album (single album view).
jQuery Slimbox2 (v2.02). I see no such options in the Mdule parameters.
