I have the same question.
Even I have the same question. The demo looks really good. Can anyone show the css & code modifications? It will be a real help. Thanks in advance
After searching for a long time & changing my whole thickbox code finally there is a good news. I got my NextGEN gallery work like it is shown in the demo site.
It is very simply. You just need to install Slimbox Plugin (http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/slimbox-plugin). Activate it. Comment echo $image->thumbcode form the image link & add rel=”lightbox[your_img_relation]” in /nextgen-gallery/view/gallery.php page. Thats it.
Hope this will save someone else’s time.
@amrutanet Thank you so much! That worked flawlessly!

Got the slimbox plugin and I think I commentet out the echo etc but not following with the add [your_img_relation}
Could you post a code sample please?
Yeah. That lost me as well. Imakescribbles – could you help us out with what exactly needs to be done. It looks great in the demo and its a shame it would take this much work just to get it to look the way its shown in the demo.
1. Install Slimbox Plugin and activate it. See AmrutaNet’s or manfredk’s links above.
2. Open gallery.php on your server. It’s at /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/view/gallery.php.
3. In gallery.php, change the code on line 42 from <?php echo $image->thumbcode ?> to <?php // echo $image->thumbcode ?>.
4. Open your WordPress admin page. Go to Gallery->Options on the left-hand panel. Select the Thumbnails tab and change both the width and height to 140px. I upped mine to 150px, but the demo is using 140.
Other than that I’m using NextGEN Gallery’s default settings. I did NOT need to add the extra line to gallery.php. That extra line confused me too, but everything works without it, with my setup at least.
I installed Slimbox and commented “echo $image->thumbcode ?”, and did not add any extra code in gallery.php, but it’s not working. Instead, the images now load in a blank page.
Any ideas? Thanks!
I found that in addition to installing slimbox, you also had to change gallery > options > effects to be ‘lightbox’. I’ve not made any of the suggested code changes.
