Height of slider + thumbnails + centering

The page I have linked is a messy page as this is a place where I test things before using them on my main site. Your slider is at the bottom.

I have three questions:

1. I want to know if there is a way I can adjust the height of the slider?

2. Also, when I use the thumbnail setting (at this moment it’s set to medium) it just stretches what is suppose to be the thumbnail image to fit the box and doesn’t show it like on the image of your plugin page, as a nice thumbnail.

3. Is there a way to center the text next to the image so it’s centered from top to bottom with the image?

Thanks in advance for your help!
