Drupal: How to show Drupal messages in a Nice Lightbox!!!

1. Install lightbox2 on drupal
2.
By placing the code below in your theme's page.tpl.php file, it's possible to have Drupal messages appear as modal popups. Just add the following code:
<pre>
<?php if ($show_messages && $messages): ?>
<div id="lightboxAutoModal" style="display: none;" ><?php print $messages; ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>
<div id="lightboxAutoModal" style="display: none;" ><?php print $messages; ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>
</pre>
You can control the size of the lightbox window, either via the configuration form at admin/settings/lightbox2/html_content - this is a global property which will affect the default size of all modal windows, or by adding a rel attribute like:
<pre>
<div id="lightboxAutoModal" rel="lightmodal[|height: 50px;]" style="display: none;" ><?php print $messages; ?></div>
</pre>
