The 1st gallery slider type has all the  slides one after another and they have the same width as the containing image width.  you can navigate using the keyboard arrows or by clicking on the arrows on the side.

The 2nd gallery slider type uses the full screen width and the height is calculated base on screen height, header height and  the distance from the slider to the gallery title. So if the window height will be ‘wh’, the header height will be ‘hh’ and the distance below the slider to the gallery title will be ‘gth’, then the slider_height = wh -( hh+gth ).

You should know that this slider will crop your images and only the middle part will be shown, and it works best only with landscape images.

The 3rd gallery slider type is the simplest one. It represents a simple slider and each image is centered.

Other gallery options can be found under ‘Posts Settings‘ tab:
