I love this module's ease of use and the style it provides Views to rotate through many different spotlights and any other site features you build. Currently when you set your Views Style to "Rotor", you can then select options to provide the width and height of the items that will display in a Rotor block/region. While this works fine in many cases,I think there would be times that it would be very beneficial to NOT have to specify an exact size, and instead it take up the full size of a block/region, presumably expanding to full area provided in your theme's stylesheet for that particular area.
To give an example, I know a couple of my sites have "SpotLight" features that rotate through images that also contain a quick blurb of text. Positioning those items below or beside each other isn't super hard to do with a little bit of themeing, but let's say for instance I have a box below my "SpotLight image" with my info blurb, and that blurb would expand beyond the height chosen on a couple of individual rotor items. I'd be worried it wouldn't display the full content of the Rotor, and enlarging the size of the Rotor itself for the 1-2 items that need extra space would probably make the area look a bit funny in the grand scheme of things.
To give a small example, a small site I maintain has this kind of feature setup, but using a different module (Views Rotator. I'd like to switch this area out with a Rotor View instead, but was concerned that my I wouldn't be able to standardize a height for the different blurbs of text that appear in there. The item is right on the front page: http://www.adversitysg.org/
Would this be a possibility for a future revision/update for the module?

#1
Agreed. As promised, I will begin work on this shortly.
#2
This is fixed in CVS. Setting width and height to 0 remove the restriction on size.

Thank you VERY MUCH Mr.Felton! That was super fast. I will test this out shortly (probably by this weekend), and report back if I have any problems. Much appreciated for adding this great feature into Rotor banner :)
