not scaling images

The plugin does not actually scale the images in the menu and displays them only in full size.

Swipebox is a great mobile-first image viewer. This plugin Just Works™, and it has an excellent admin panel exposing all the Swipebox settings. If I had one feature requests, it’s that I’d like photos
