There is too less info about what exactly you're trying to achieve and what you've tried so far.
Piwigo is a standalone webapp, so there is no "rest of the site". Piwigo is the site, the rest is another site.
If you want them to look identical, you need to override stylesheets and maybe create a child theme so you can move stuff around, or integrate Piwigo into your main site using the API.

Thanks teekay.  Nice to hear more than crickets.  :)

The goal is to incorporate PW into an already existing website as a subdirectory.  Every page in the existing site has the same header and footer so when an update is made to either file, each of the two files just has to be done once.  The header in particular is essential, as it contains the favicons, custom css, etc.  I have had no trouble including these two files with other standalone webapps, just PW.

I looked at the dark bootstrap theme, since the pre-existing site uses bootstrap.  I see files included using smarty code, so I would suppose that could be used to add the header.  The header and footer files are in a subdirectory in root, on the same level as PW.

I also see in the core files that normal php includes are used.  However, I would rather not change those files if I can do it using either a template or an existing plugin.  But if that is the only way to accomplish what I want, then knowing which core file to use would be helpful.

Hmm, the header template is template/header.tpl and the footer is template/footer.tpl
You could create template overrides by copying those to template-extensions/, editing to your liking, and create the override in Administration -> Configuration -> Templates. Or in a child theme.

The second question, how to change the thumbnail display orientation of different albums, so one displays landscape images, and another displays portrait?  Currently, they all display landscape.  As a result, the thumbnails for photos with portrait orientation are cut off at the top and bottom.  The photos themselves display correctly.

That's not possible using bootstrap darkrooms default grid layout. They are all landscape orientation while respecting the "center of interest" feature. But plugins like gdThumb or GThumb+ do respect the orientation and aspect ratio. Maybe take a look at those.
