   Do you know of anyway that I can add a "close button" either in graphical or text form to the slideshow that appears using JWplayer? The words "click to close" show up on mouseover but that is not intuitive enough for most users. I am now using the Monoslideshow player but it appears that the gallery that launches from the NextGen widget launches the JW Player.

   Thanks.

   Go into the settings > effects, and use Thickbox - way better than the default.

   Best,

   This will give you a light box with a close button which I think is easier to use.

   1. Download the JW image rotator. Upload the imagerotator folder to your web server.

   2. In the WordPress admin go to Gallery > Options > Slideshow. Configure the path to the imagerotator.swf. For example: http://www.plansforextensions.com/imagerotator/imagerotator.swf

   Click save changes

   3. Go to Gallery > Options > Effects. Change JavaScript Thumbnail effect: to 'Thickbox'. Save changes.

   4. Now you have a nicer lightbox with a close button :)

   5. Some extra text may appear before your thumbnails, something like - [show in slideshow]. To remove this, go to Gallery > Options > Gallery. Remove all text in the first box next to 'Integrate Slideshow'.

   6. Excellent!
