Please disregard. I have found the solution is actually quite simple by adding a line of code on the config file.

showOpenButton="false"

Andres, I love the slider on your main page. What are you using if you wouldn't mind sharing?

I do not want to have to recreate the gallery if not needed. Thanks!

Thank you. That's very helpful. I was able to encapsulate config file for each gallery in their own separate folder. This keeps it well organized.

From what I understand you have to have separate config files for each gallery. If I am putting config.xml on the root folder, how do I put another config file?
I have two separate galleries with their own config files.
