so i've actually gotten this to work, but in acquia marina theme it's ugly, uses little green bulleted list icons for each tab, text is tiny and unclear and so on...

what i'd like to do is create a slider for front page that looks just like this: http://jqueryfordesigners.com/demo/coda-slider.html (maybe change colors)

but is the slider wrapped in it's own div? how can it be styled? any tips or suggestions more than welcome...

You can style it easily - just use CSS. It's all wrapped up in it's own div. You can open the file in the "css" folder and look at it:

http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/slider/css/...

If you want it to look like that one on jqueryfordesigners, then use Firebug to pick out the styles and just reproduce them in your theme's CSS file.

thanks - found the actual CSS they're using linked to from the demo/tutorial: http://jqueryfordesigners.com/demo/coda-slider.css

...so if i simply replace the css you've included with this one, will it replace just the ul and h2 specific to that div? i'm not sure if this is something to do with my own theme (acquia) taking priority over whatever goes into slider's own css...

Don't replace the Slider module CSS; rather take the elements out of the coda-slider.css that you want and put them into your theme's CSS file. This will override the Slider's CSS.

Read the Drupal handbooks on theming, or a CSS book for more info. ;)
