Hi again,

I came to this forum a few weeks ago with trouble getting MaxiGallery going. I have since got it going and am able to customize it very easy the only questions I have since I am still new to this and need some help is.

1. How do you get rid of the coloured boarder around the thumbnails and big pictures I have a drop shadow on the thumbnails and the coloured outlines look dumb with a drop shadow.

2. How do I get a picture to open in a outside of the browser window with the transparent black background that animated loading circle and the image appears in a window... similar to these galleries...http://www.krushallnighter.com/index.php?id=37

Thanks for the help in advance.

1. From maxigallery wiki page:

thumb_shadow_bgcolor = [ RGB Hexadecimal ] : Shadow background color for thumbnail pics, should be the same as page bgcolor. Default: "FFFFFF"
pic_shadow_bgcolor = [ RGB Hexadecimal ] : Shadow background color for normal pics, should be the same as page bgcolor. Default: "FFFFFF"
big_shadow_bgcolor = [ RGB Hexadecimal ] : Shadow background color for big pics, should be the same as page bgcolor. Default: "FFFFFF"

2. Use &display=`embedded` and slidebox, slimbox or lightboxv2 as &embedtype value. The gallery you linked to uses slidebox, slimbox and lightboxv2 looks both the same, but slimbox is done using mootools and lightboxv2 is done using scriptaculous/prototype.

Hey Doze,

Thanks again for the help.

I tried the two suggestions you gave but it still is displaying the same for me, the only thing that changed was the big image after you click on the thumbnail instead of opening in the same window with the big image and controls on the top it opens the same window with just the jpg.
Here is the link to see what I am talking about with both problems still happening...

Thanks for the help.

P.S. This is in the page document content...
[[MaxiGallery? &embedtype=`slidebox` &display=`embedded` &pics_in_a_row=`3` &max_thumb_size=`110` &max_pic_size=`400` &thumb_use_dropshadow=`1` &display_manage`0` &thumb_shadow_bgcolor=`FFFFFF` &pic_shadow_bgcolor`FFFFFF`]]

That happens because you don’t have any html code in that page other than what maxigallery produces. Eg you need to have <html><head></head><body></body></html> tags atleast so that modx knows where to put the javascripts. The blue border that you are seeing is teh default link border. You can get rid of it using css. Put img {border:0}; in your css.
