Here’s an example of Smart Sliders made to fit square graphics. Two sliders are placed next to each other to show that as a layout possibility. One downside is that the text in these graphics wouldn’t show up when searching the site. The arrows on the one on the right are a bit smaller, as an example of something we can do.
Below is a slider with just text pasted in. I bet this would come up in search. The slides are formatted within the slider settings. The padding for the content area is 22.
