Hello,

Yeah swipe gestures are pretty cool but I think that would be a huge change because the whole lightbox system should change. Magnific Popup, the current one is not support swipe gestures. I created a topic about it… [Use PhotoSwipe instead Magnific Popup?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/use-photoswipe-instead-magnific-popup/164550)

But you may also interested of the Custom Lightbox theme component. 🙂
