Allows videos embedded using the video_embed_field module to be displayed in a DOM Window overlay.
How does it do it?
Well, first it defines a new format for the video_embed_field fields called overlay. Then, using a pretty standard theme function, combines the preexisting display modes into one, thus producing a thumbnail that is linked to the embed code (inline hidden div) which will be displayed in an overlay window using the DOMWindow jquery plugin
Using image styles, you can overlay a play button on top of your video thumbnail: Notice this requires downloading the imagecache_actions module and enabling the imagecache_canvasactions submodule.
When rendered the thumbnail is displayed and linked to the embedded video player that will be displayed in the overlay
All the settings are intuitive and provided in compliance with the Field API
