Well. I guess it self-resolved. Nevermind! For any of you interested, the code that stuck was:

$attachments = get_children( array(
	'post_parent'    => $attr['id'],
	'post_status'    => 'inherit',
	'post_type'      => 'attachment',
	'post_mime_type' => 'image',
	'order'          => $attr['order'],
	'orderby'        => $attr['orderby'],
) );

Or a specific code for individual pages? Basically I want only the gallery pages to have a black background.

Thank you so much for your help! This is perfect for the front page. Is there any way to expand it to all the boxes, including other pages? I really appreciate it.
