overlay.resize()      -> null
overlay.preventOpen() -> null

Usage

• Include jquery.overlay-as-promised.min.js into your Project

var overlay = $('.test').overlayAsPromised({
    closable: true,
}, function() {
    return "it's working";
}, function() {
    console.log("closed");
});

overlay.open().then(function(value) {
    console.log(value);
});

If you declare a startingDelay and want to prevent opening the overlay anyway before the timeout is reached after you called open():

var overlay = $('.test').overlayAsPromised({
    startingDelay: 3000
});

overlay.open();
// do something
overlay.preventOpen();

Customize

For the moment customizing means to override the jQuery.colorbox styles.
To customize the built-in top close-Button simply overwrite the styles of the element with id cboxClose e.g. in your stylesheet:

#cboxClose {
  display: inline-block;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0px;
  left: 0px;
  color: #000;
  border: none;
  background-color: #fff;
}

#cboxClose::before {
  font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings';
  content: "\e014";
  font-size: 17px;
}

This would result in a black X on white ground (Glyphicons muste be included as font-family).
