It actually wouldn’t be difficult at all if you want to use a different slider since its just a widget area…..you can place whatever slider you want in its place.
Also, in the Genesis Theme Settings, you can remove the Arrows if you want. From what I can tell, you have to click an arrow in order for it to pause on hover. This is a StudioPress plugin, so maybe you could recommend this to them as an option in a future update since it would be useful.
