    Under the - EFFECTS tab it says//
    "Here you can select the thumbnail effect, NextGEN Gallery will integrate the required HTML code in the images. Please note that only the Shutter and Thickbox effect will automatic added to your theme. With the placeholder %GALLERY_NAME% you can activate a navigation through the images (depend on the effect). Change the code line only , when you use a different thumbnail effect or you know what you do.
    "

    I selected "lightbox"
    and this piece of code popped up
    rel="lightbox[%GALLERY_NAME%]"

    but what exactly am I suppose to do with this code?!!!
    PLEASE HELP!

    The default is so ugly!

    Also, is there any way I can make the thumbnail images bigger?
    They are super small and annoying right now :/

    Keysuuh, not sure about the effects... still working on it myself but you can set the thumbnail size under the Options Menu item and then the thumbnail tab. You will have to re-upload your images on any older images. Hope it helps.

    you need to install separately a plugin based on lightbox:
    like this one:

    after you install the plugin, you can enable lightbox in NextGen effects tab, and it will work
