I somehow ended up at this website. It had this great way to display photos. I really wish gallery and more specifically the theme I use would make use of highslide. Lightbox was cool but highslide is better. Being able to move the images around is fantastic. F11 to make the thing full screen makes for a fucking cool gallery.

I won’t hold my breath. Gallery is undergoing a rewrite to version 3 with a goal of going back to the basics. 

http://www.sankakucomplex.com/ is where I first saw it. And my favorite use of it. My own gallery is very similar but viewing an image full size is just a lot more work.
