Already in ancient Greece, the small circle with the cross, called the mirror of Venus as a stylisation of the portable circular mirror with its handle, indicated the second planet of the solar system and was symbolically associated with the goddess (Aphrodite for the Greeks, Venus for the Latins) and in general with the feminine, namely beauty, love and sensuality.
The symbol is the same one used by alchemists to indicate copper. Cuprum, the name of copper in Latin, derives its name from the island of Cyprus where copper was extracted in abundance. Cyprus was also the place where Venus was born and, precisely because of this common place of origin, copper is associated with the goddess in mythology. In some historical maps the mirror of Venus was used to mark the mines. 
The Widgetkit Spotlight allows you to add an overlay to your images which fades or moves in on mouse hover. The overlay can be an image or HTML content. The default magnifier spotlight is a perfect match to be used with a lightbox.
Examples
If no custom overlay is set the default spotlight fades in an overlay with an magnifier image. If you define a custom overlay you can choose between different animations - fade, bottom, top, right and left.
Features
- Create nicely animated image overlays
- Supports custom image or HTML content overlays
- 5 different animation modes
- Responsive design to fit all device resolutions
- Built with the latest jQuery version
- Works with Joomla and WordPress
How To Use
Use the HTML5 custom data attribute data-spotlight to activate the spotlight.
<a data-spotlight="on" href="/mypage.html"> <img src="/image.jpg" width="180" height="120" alt="" /> </a>
To create a custom overlay use a div element with the CSS class overlay. You can set the effect parameter to the data attribute. For example:
<a data-spotlight="effect:bottom;" href="/mypage.html"> <img src="/image.jpg" width="180" height="120" alt="" /> <span class="overlay">Custom Overlay</span> </a>
You can set the effect parameter to fade, bottom, top, right and left.
