# Image viewer background

 * I am using WordPress 3.1 and NextGen Gallery 1.7.4 with the “Shutter” effect.
 * My question is about the background on the image viewer. When I click on the 
   thumbnail and view the full size image, the background is darker, but the thumbnails,
   header/footer, etc are still visible behind the image and are very distracting.
 * Is there a way to make the background a higher opacity, or a darker black? Or
   would another effect, other than Shutter, accomplish this?
 * Alternatively, could it be possible to have the viewer appear on a blank page,
   rather than on the page with the thumbnails?
 * Thanks
