[Plugin: JJ NextGen JQuery Cycle] Styling the Slider

Hi,

Thanks for this plugin! It’s great. I’m using Thesis. I’d like to add a shadow or border around this slider, I’m using the shortcode and I can’t find where to add some css. I’m pretty new, so I don’t know if I should do it within the html or I tried doing some custom css and calling that out in the css class. Not sure what to do here.

Also, how would I add in a load bar because when the slideshow starts the images aren’t fully loaded, or should I just to pause the first slide to the others get a chance to load beforehand.

Thanks
