 * the slider should be 100% width if I leave width and height blank in settings,
   Currently it is set to the size of the image. can you fix this ?. the width is
   not fluid If I leave size blank

 * This isn’t how Meteor Slides works. The slideshows are fluid and will scale down
   to fit smaller screens, but they need to have a max height and width to work 
   properly.

 * but if i leave the width and height blank, shouldn’t the slider scare 100% left
   and right. what its doing currently is scaling the width of the image, so if 
   my image is shorter than the screen width you have a empty space on the right

 * No, that’s not how the [jQuery Cycle](http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/) script
   that powers the slideshows works. It’s not just automatically 100%, it needs 
   exactly pixel value dimensions, which is why those settings have default values.
   And for the responsive scaling, it scales the slideshow based on the image size.
 * Really to get the best quality you want to size your slide images to the max 
   dimensions you want, set the slideshow dimensions to that size, and make sure
   that everything matches exactly. If you blow up the slide images beyond their
   standard size, they are going to get blurry and just not look good.
 * There are other slideshows that are made specifically for 100% width and height,
   like fullscreen or background slideshows, but these generally work best with 
   high rez abstract photos that will scale well even when blown up.
