Theming

There are numerous ways to build galleries in Drupal. One of the more advanced options is to utilize the Dynamic Display Block module. DDBlock leverages the familiar CCK and Views modules to show images (or other node data), and provides numerous configuration options for how the galleries can behave such as transition effects, auto-slideshow capabilities, pager settings, etc. There are several free gallery themes available to choose from, and these can be tweaked as necessary to fit whatever look-and-feel you need.

Here’s an example of a gallery I set up with DDBlock:
