 * I’m unable to decrease the size of the slideshow box for [http://lgcroofingpa.com/](http://lgcroofingpa.com/)
 * Is 410px the minimum height required? I tried to change the .slideshow-window
   element but it has no effect on the box size.

 * Slideshows do not have any built-in sizing options. The width of the slideshow
   is based on your theme’s content width, and the max-height is set to 410px. The
   images then scale automatically to fit within those constraints.
 * However, you _can_ use some custom CSS to modify the height. This approach is
   a little “hacky” but it might be worth trying.
 * To start, use the following to scale down your images:
 *     ```
       .jetpack-slideshow .slideshow-slide img {
            max-height: 200px !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Then you would need to modify a couple of the parent elements to compensate for
   the change in height:
 *     ```
       .jetpack-slideshow {
       	height: 200px !important;
       }
   
       .jetpack-slideshow .slideshow-slide {
       	line-height: 200px !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Like I said, it’s a little hacky so I can’t guarantee cross-browser support. 
   But hopefully that helps!
 * Please don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions, or if you’d
   like me to elaborate on anything,

 * I actually found the line-height didn’t need to be changed, but the other two
   changes were necessary.
 * Can I suggest that this 410px default height be made customizable without CSS?
   Would be great to add an option. [Google searches show](https://www.google.com/webhp#q=jetpack%20slideshow%20410)
   this is a relatively common question.
