[Plugin: jQuery Colorbox] Colorbox link in Enhanced text widget

    I’m new to WordPress, and just installed the colorbox plugin. I have a couple of questions I hope are fairly simple :
    1. I see how, on a page, I simply style a link with ‘colorbox-link’ and my job is done — all the necessary css and js scripts are added. However, I need to add the lightbox link (it opens an external URL) in an Enhanced Text widget. When I go to Appearance>Widgets and open the content for my widget I see there isn’t any GUI dropdown to add my style. If I simply add my link to the widget content :

    <a class="colorbox-link cboxElement" href="thesite">Show URL in Lightbox</a>

    does WordPress know to add these scripts to the page?

    2. I wanted to modify a theme slightly. I’ve already tested my change and it just consists of a new graphic and some css modifications. Is there a way I can do this? Can I add a new theme and select it?

    Thanks for any help.

    1) Yes. As long as a link has the CSS-class “colorbox-link”, a colorbox is opened automatically when it is clicked.

    2) You’ll have to replace one of the existing themes, there is currently no way to add your own theme, sorry.

    Cheers,
