Frames
One of the great features of the Photo Gallery is the support for image frames, this includes several drop shadow effects.
Polaroid Mode
The Photo Gallery also has Polaroid mode' which uses CSS3 and has a few cool effects like rotated or variable sized polaroids.
To enable Polaroid mode select (Polaroid) as the frame style. For the best effect set the border width to 20 or more and use 'white' as the frame color. Also adding a little shadow will give it a more realistic effect. For more details about the available options please see the help.
Responsive Gallery
The Photo Gallery can be used in responsive layouts. When the thumbnail size is set to 'Responsive' the gallery can have a different number of columns in breakpoints! The images in the gallery will be responsively resized based on the gallery size. This means for example that when the gallery is inside a Layout Grid that it can be full width or use a percentage of the screen size width.
