How can I change the width and height of slides on Slick Carousel?
http://kenwheeler.github.io/slick/
A friend suggested that I use Ken Wheeler's Slick carousel and I decided to give it a try. I am having a couple of problems with it. The first is that the slides don't load "on top of each other" like they should. They are stacked vertically. When the first slide fades in, it is in the correct spot, however, when the second slide fades in, it is below where the first slide was. Also notice that on the first slide the right border is cut off and on the second slide everything besides the left border is cut off.
The second problem is that I can't seem to change the width or height of the slides. They would all be the same dimensions. (They are set in my css file in the "featured" class.)
What am I doing wrong?

Answer
I initialised the slider with one of the properties as
variableWidth: true
then i could set the width of the slides to anything i wanted in CSS with:
.slick-slide {
width: 200px;
}
