Gallery version (not just "2"): 2.3

PHPInfo Link (see FAQ): n/a
Webserver (e.g. Apache 1.3.33): n/a

Activated toolkits (e.g. NetPbm, GD): n/a
Operating system (e.g. Linux): Mac OS X Lion

found it in the meantime... you have to edit the css of the theme used.

even easier is to embed your gallery into a custom page

No flash necessary. Embed samples and tools.

But Apple did drop the ball on that one.

embed PATH is not supposed to be a URL
PATHs look like:
/usr/local/www/public_html....
whereas URLs look like:
http://www.mysite.com/gallery2/.....

but if you're placing it in your gallery directory just plain embed.php is fine.

you can rename it to index.php(replacing gallery's) and it will become the default page for gallery.
but you would need to edit the init() line in the file:
$ret = GalleryEmbed::init(array('g2Uri'=>'/gallery/main.php', 'embedUri'=>'/gallery/index.php', 'fullInit'=>'false'));
(and finish adding your html customizations)
