 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to set the Gallery/Options/Effects (from the drop down) to either 
   lightbox or highslide. When I’m on this gallery admin page it takes, but as soon
   as I navigate away it changes to “Custom” and doesn’t deliver the effect I want.
 * Instructions say:
    “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.”
 * So it appears I need to edit some of the code in the files to something like:
 * class=”highslide” onclick=”return hs.expand(this, { slideshowGroup: %ID=nggallery
   id=4% })”
 * or
 * rel=”lightbox[%nngallery id=4%]”
 * So where do I put this (which file, which line of code)? Or, is there something
   I can do so that my selection “takes” when I set it on the page Gallery/Options/
   Effects admin page?
 * Thanks.
