#### 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):

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.
