Topic: Can't resize slideshow overlay height

I have been trying this for the last 2 hours and nothing seems to work. I've edited both the user.css and default.css files to try and resize the black slideshow overlay and it never resizes the height of it. I can quite easily alter it in any other way, width, color etc, but the height always remains constant.

I've been using this to try alter the height, but to no avail (ignoring the values, because the height doesn't change regardless of the value I use:

.featured-entry { height: 24px; top: -24px; }
.featured-entry .entry-summary { display: none; }

Please let me know of anything else I can try to fix this, all I want to do is resize the overlay so it takes up less of the slideshow.

Thanks.

This is the code I used to re-size mine. Hope it helps.

#featured-slideshow  { border:width: 490px; height: 380px; }

Doesn't help sorry, that just resizes the slideshow box itself, not the excerpt overlay.

Just to add i've the exact same issue here, upgraded the theme, I was using a child theme, tried the edit on the main there, and no joy, style is still showing the original CSS, I've even search in all the css files for this specific reference and not found anything...

Took a look at that one already Rae, i've similar code in my style.css in my child theme

.featured-entry {height: 85px; top: -85px;}

However Firebug shows this as over written, i'm 100% certain the child theme is enabled...

It's only happening since i updated wordpress, and arras to Rc2
