http://thefantasiesattic.net/attic/cpg/index.phpAs suggested, you need to copy the section you want to see changed from themes/sample/theme.php into a new line before
?>of the file themes/yourtheme/theme.php and then edit the stuff you cpoied in as you see fit. This way, you only need to edit the stuff that actually makes your gallery differ from the default behaviour: by defining something in your theme.php file you override the default. Therefore, don't copy the entire content of themes/sample/theme.php, but only the sections you need.
For the admin menu, you'll need to find
$template_gallery_admin_menu =in themes/yourtheme/theme.php and edit as you see fit. If that section doesn't exist in your custim theme, copy
// HTML template for gallery admin menu
$template_gallery_admin_menu = <<<EOT
<div align="center">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<!-- BEGIN admin_approval -->

Similar things apply to the sys menu and sub menu.
Instead of complaining that things are complicated (which is not the case imo) you should have performed a search: changing the menus has been asked and answered many times over...
As suggested in your other open thread "
I am behind in versions" you need to upgrade first before doing anything else.

P.S. The scroller you have on your gallery is eating up way to many resources - it nearly brings my browser down. I suggest reviewing the idea to remain a scroller - marquee is outdated imo.
