my image gallery keeps creating a white overlay over the images sometimes to the point I can barely see them (like opacity of 80%)
Please try the setting Photonic → Settings → Generic Options → Layouts → Square / Circle Grid – Thumbnail Effect.
I would also like to know how to change the lightbox theme to white and if possible a little bit transparent
I will require a URL to help you effectively for this.

I am not seeing any opacity effect on your site. All photos seem to be showing up the same as the originals.
For changing the lightbox background you can do it through your WP dashboard, under Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS with this:
.pswp__bg { background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5) !important; }

the thumbnails don’t really have an opacity effect, they’re there, but you can’t see them visibly you’ll see it if you keep refreshing the page.
Sorry, I was going by your statement above (“my image gallery keeps creating a white overlay over the images sometimes to the point I can barely see them (like opacity of 80%)”).
I am unable to replicate your problem, but my guess is that you have JetPack’s lazy loading interfering with the display. If you turn off lazy loading your galleries will display fine. Photonic defers its layout until images are loaded, and lazy-loading interferes with this because lazy loading targets individual photos instead of a whole gallery. I have a writeup on this thread explaining this.
