Thanks so much, the gallery is openable now! Unfortunately, being able to use the gallery has revealed a couple new problems. In gallery_setup, it will only show images designated img1 or img2; "gallery_items.append(GalleryItem("name", ["img3"] ))", for example, shows a locked screen even if I have "image img3 = ("images/gallery/BE2.png")" and have viewed it in-game and double-checked the file name is correct. I also can't seem to change the background color for the Next/Previous buttons, and even removing the code for them entirely from gallery.rpy doesn't remove them from the game. I thought I might've accidentally copied the code into a different file, but I can't find it anywhere.

remember there are two separate gallery layouts there A and B (make sure you edit the correct one you are using)
when you define an image for the gallery
image img3 = ("images/gallery/gallery3.jpg")
you must show img3 not gallery3 before it is it unlocked in the galler, you can:
show img3
or
scene img3
the background for those buttons are in the code for the button
if gallery_page > 0:
textbutton "{color=#000}Previous{/color}":
action SetVariable("gallery_page", gallery_page - 1)
xalign 0.3
yalign 0.98
background "#fff8" #<<--- it is what it is
fff is white but with an 8 in the alpha channel make it semi-transparent (looks light grey)
The right images are showing up now, thank you! And that didn't fix the problem with the next button, but I figured it out anyway; for some reason I had a "gallery_b.rpyc" file in my folder with no corresponding "gallery_b.rpy", and deleting that made everything work perfectly. Thanks so much for the help!
