Reply To: Appearance like in demo – how to?

So, analyzing the demo and comparing it with what is shown at the widget locator found at https://appfinite.com/topic/epik-widgets-guide/ the Epik demo-structure and plan to work on is the following [for the frontpage]:
1. Header with menu’s.
2. Slider widget with images [1,140px × 400px]
3. Welcome widget with subsequent [Welcome feature widgets #1-#3].
4. Home feature 9 with subsequent [Home feature widgets #10-#13].
[Followed by a couple of Home features of same width but different heights].
5. Home feature with text widget containing: image left [400px × 580px] – text right.
6. Home feature with text widget containing: text left – image right [605px × 320px (scaled to 547px × 289px)].
7. Home feature with text widget containing: image left [689px × 450px (scaled to 547px × 357px)] – text right.
8. Home feature with text widget containing: text left – image right [620px × 500px (scaled to 547px × 441px)].
9. Home feature with text widget containing: image left [640px × 450px (scaled to 547px × 385px)] – text right.
10. Home feature [small] with image centered [1,152px × 80px (scaled to 1,140px × 79px)], that is the grey logo section.
11. Home feature with 4 images centered all [276px × 318px (scaled to 272px × 313px)] – text under. WTf is a div-wrap and how to put it in?? o.O
12. Home feature 9 with subsequent [Home feature widgets #10-#13]. This is the payment plan. It seems like a table with text inside and under the table. Purchase button.
13. Footer with subsequent Footer widgets #1-#3.

I found the following Addons are needed in order to get this theme running as shown in the demo:
1. Gravity forms [ I paid 39$ for 1 year subscription – I feel there are other option for less or no money in the wild]
2. Genesis Responsive Slider
3. Regenerate Thumbnails
4. Simple Social Icons

Now we can go on configuring step by step the frontpage and I’m currently fighting with #2 from above list: The Slider
Have a look at: http://www.expat2expat.org/
Hillarious, isn’t it?!
Can someone tell me from where this thing picks the images which are shown and how to convince the slider to show what I want AND how to change the slider windows height?!
Many thanks in advance.
