Feature request: Slideshow of Thumbnails

Hi guys

Excuse my total noob-ness if there is a well known and/or completely obvious workaround / hack for this.

I have made up a full site-width banner, composed of a grid of individual Gallery instances, with them all stacking seamlessly and each displaying a random thumbnail from their respective gallery.

What I would like to see is that the thumbnails cycle through that entire gallery – basically the thumbnails are playing as though they were running in slideshow mode.

‘Why don’t I just make a grid of Slideshows instead ?’ – because I still want the full, uncropped gallery images to open in the pop-up lightbox when clicked. Also, I don’t want to crop the full size images to conform to the grid dimensions [ especially the portrait format ones ] or have the plugin auto-crop them at runtime either.

Any ideas / suggestions ? Please note that I am very much a designer, not a dev / hacker – so please keep it relatively plain language !
