 * I am trying to simply link a few pictures on my page to a lightbox image gallery.
   I have figured out how to use the ImageBrowser to do basically what I want, but
   I don’t want a border, “Picture 1 of 4”, title, or <arrows> around my picture
   on the page (I don’t care about the lightbox gallery that comes up). Any ideas?
 * Thanks

 * [@jcamac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jcamac/) – By removing the navigation
   arrows you will essentially be eliminating the functionality of the ImageBrowser
   display. Perhaps you would prefer to use the Basic Slideshow?
 * Otherwise, a combination of a custom template for the ImageBrowser and some custom
   CSS should get you to where you want.
 * Thanks!

 * Thank you for responding. I have tried the slideshow and it is not really what
   I am looking for. Here is my URL: [http://hangingbquarterhorses.com/?page_id=15](http://hangingbquarterhorses.com/?page_id=15)
 * I really want the lightbox photo gallery to pop up when the image posted on the
   page is selected. It is not a priority to make sure the image browser on the 
   page will allow a user to scroll, just that the lightbox gallery will allow them
   to go through the gallery.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * [@jcamac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jcamac/) – You might look at a 
   different option of inserting a gallery that just displays a single thumbnail(
   this may require generating thumbnails of a similar size to what you are currently
   displaying).
 * Give this shortcode a try:
    `[ngg_images gallery_ids=1 display_type=photocrati-
   nextgen_basic_thumbnails disable_pagination=1 images_per_page=1 show_all_in_lightbox
   =1]`
 * You can add width and height parameters but you might get pixelation depending
   on the quality and default size of your current thumbnails. It should produce
   a better image if you specifically re-size the thumbnails of the gallery you 
   are displaying to a larger size.
