WP-Gallery-Remote includes albums and images from any Gallery installation using Gallery�s Gallery Remote Protocol. Images are display as thumbnails in you posts and pages. Thereby you can choose between a plain output of the thumbnails and a CSS and Javascript based carousel mode. Have a look at the screenshots to see how that looks like.
If the
Lightbox Plugin is available and activated, clicking on a thumbnail opens the respective image using the lightbox effect. If the plugin is not available or activated, the image is shown in a new browser window.
