My Gallery works pretty well.
I'm using Worpress 3.1.1, Thesis 1.8, DCG 3.3.5.
The problem is that it's favoring to the right and I can't get it to center in it's location:

Also, I'm, using the "One Category" method and it works great with my articles and the teaser thumbnails but when the image is displayed in the Gallery, it's too small. I set this up before with images uploaded directly into the article and it seemed to do a much better job with the display space but I'm afraid changing it will mess up my teasers. Is there a way to have both?? 
Thanks!

Hi,
Looks OK to me, though the gallery width should be reduced so that it doesn't overlap the video on the right hand side. I would change the gallery width (DCG Settings > CSS tab) to, say, 708px. I would also change the boder to 0 (looks better to me without a border, IMO).
Not sure I understand the second part of your post. The DCG doesn't automatically resize images, therefore you need to upload the image at the correct gallery dimensions. If you set the image as the Featured Image, your theme should handle the display of the thumbnail in the teasers. Does this make sense?

Hi Ade,
Thanks for responding to my query!
So, I re sized the DCG box to the 708px like you suggested and yes, it is now centered but I preferred it to be flush with the edges. Anyway to do that? or I would be willing the change to BG color to black to hide the un flush ends.
About the display image, do you notice that these image take up about 50% of the display area? When I set this up before the images were zoomed in and took up 100% of the display area. I can't be sure how I did this but I think it has something to do with uploading original images, within the article itself. But, this reeked havoc on my teasers! Right now I am using "post image / thumbnail" where the image displayed in the article and the DCG is pulled from a URL. I think what you suggested is change the size of the original uploaded image where the URL is located, right?
Thanks for the help!

This is a theme CSS issue… 
If you want the DCG flush with the lefthand edge, you will need to add custom CSS to your theme, like this:
padding: 0;
border: none;
}
You can now increase teh size of the gallery to a width of 730px to fill the space.
When you upload an image to your post, make sure it is the correct size for the DCG. Then select it as the featured image. It should then appear, as normal, as a thumbnail in your teasers and correct size in the DCG.
