The Basemap Gallery Custom widget provides some additional functionality from the out of the box Basemap Gallery widget to give developers more customization. 

https://github.com/brianmcleer/basemap-gallery-custom-widget

- Display items in thumbnail or list options

- 5 size settings for list/thumbnails

- Import/Export XML files to transfer widget settings across applications

- Change order of basemaps in list

- Set default basemap for application load

- WCAG compliance

Changelog:

7/10/2026:

Basemaps now load in parallel with skeleton placeholders, the default basemap is applied on application load, the active indicator live-syncs when the basemap changes elsewhere, and the gallery adds favorites (star to pin, F key), a search filter for large galleries, row-aware keyboard navigation, and reduced motion support. Also fixes XML import edge cases and validates item types when adding by ID.
