You can find few fullscreen themes, but if you’re a photographer, you know how important is composition. Fullscreen photos are always cut or stretched, so they don’t look as you wanted. BIG Gallery allows you to choose from 4 ways of fullscreen slideshow. You can fill all screen with the image, fill full width or height. You can also automatically adjust images to prevent them from being cut. You can change slideshow type separately for every page. Take a look at the example:

Filled image (cut on the top and bottom)

Uncut image (all visible)

You can also create classic filterable gallery with thumbnails.

Check it yourself (you can play with browser size – slideshows are fully responsive):

• Filled – all screen is filled with image
• Uncut – all image is visible
• Full width – all images are resized to have browser width
• Full height – all images are resized to have browser height
• Classic gallery

BIG Gallery has another unique feature. Logo, menu and other elements are autohiding after few seconds if you don’t move the mouse (this can be set with theme options). So now you can see only photos! If you move the mouse, navigation will show up. Open live preview and wait for 2 seconds (do not move the mouse).
