I am trying to figure out the settings for the widget to open using thickbox, however, I have not had any success at this point.

Individual galleries open fine using thickbox, however, the widgets thumbnails open in a entirely new window. I would like for the thumbnails on the widget to open in thickbox as well like the individual galleries.

Any suggestions on the settings or am I missing something all together?

Hi Sarge,

You're on the right track. For each Gallery Type that you can display in the Widget (random, tag, etc) there is a Gallery that gets created. You can view these in Gallery Settings. These virtual galleries are just like regular galleries except you don't upload images to them. They get their images from other galleries based on their type...e.g. tag galleries get images with the specified tag from the images (one's with the tag) that belong to real galleries.

So, but updating all the galleries, you updated the virtual galleries as well. You can update them individually in Gallery Settings, but if you want everything to be the same, you found the right button!

Hope that explains it a bit.
Cheers,
Byron
