#### How do I install this?
You install this component just like any other theme. Follow the instructions in the official guide:
> [@Installing a theme or theme component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-do-i-install-a-theme-or-theme-component/63682):

> bookmark This is a guide for installing and managing themes and theme components in Discourse. person_raising_hand Required user level: Administrator Installing and customizing themes can significantly improve the look and feel of your Discourse site. You can easily import and manage themes and their components through the Discourse admin panel. This guide covers: Importing new themes and theme components Adding theme components to a theme Managing automatic updates Additional resourc…
Once you’re done, simply add the component to your current theme. Done!
* * *
#### How do I use this?
This component adds a button to the composer.
So all you have to do is:
1- Upload a bunch of images using the default Discourse upload button then highlight the code:
2- Click the gallery button.
You will get a **static preview** of the the selected images in the preview pane:
Done!

#### Anything else I need to know?
This component will inherit the current theme’s styles.
Here’s the theme component running on a different theme:
#### Can I use both Slick and Tiles at the same time?
You bet! 😅
This is possible by making both slick and tiles components of a theme.
Like this:
You can then make “my theme” in the example above the default theme or make it user-selectable and it would include both Slick and Tiles.

seems like slick does not work with recent 2.0.0.beta5
after upgrade from 2.0.0.beta4 (where it worked nicely), now the page simply does not load and in browser console i see the following error twice.

> Hi @kaefert, @vchrizz and thank you for reporting sunflower My apologies for not getting to you earlier. the good news is that I have just tested on v2.0.0.beta5 +120 and both Slick and Tiles seem to be working. My guess is that subsequent commits to Discourse addressed the issue. Are you still facing the same problem? Even better news is that I tinkered a little bit with both Slick and Tiles and they now have much more targeted firing methods that will only fire when needed. …

There was a small update today that fixes the translation error **_for good!_** If you’re on beta 7 and face any errors, please update the theme. 🌻

Great theme! How can I translate strings? (I am French)
Also, I did some tests and it’s not working…

I just tested and everything seems to be working ok? Are you seeing any errors in the console? What version of Discourse are you on?

Like with Tiles, I also added a couple of settings that will allow you to change the strings:

> Thank you for uploading the images @Francois_Douvillesunflower The problem here is still the same. It’s a combination the size of the images you’re using and your Discourse settings. If an image is not big enough (height and/or width) to exceed the default settings in your Discourse install, no lightbox view will be created for it. The default settings look like this: What this means is - unless you change the default settings If an image has a width that exceeds 690px, a l…

@Francois_Douville
No, it’s not normal. I think I know what the problem is, the theme might need to be translated. I will post an update on that soon.
@Vaping_Community
I just checked on `v2.0.0.beta10 +49` and everything seems to be working in order.
Can you share more details about what’s happening on your install?

For some reason it wasn’t working with larger images, had to reset some settings and refresh to get it to work but it is working now, great theme addon, thanks!

Is it possible to display another icon? My community thinks they have to display slick even if they have 1 image.

If you have a font-awesome icon in mind, you can do something like so:
```plaintext
.SlickGallery .fa-picture-o:before {
content: "\f152"; // font awesome code
}
```

**Later edit:** my mistake.
The right mode is like this:
```
```
Not like this:
```
```
How can I make the images look like here? Without the black background.
