[Plugin: Smooth Slider] padding-top and -left not customizable

In version 2.3.5 a padding-top of 40px and a padding-left of 5px allways occurs inside div id=smoth_slider. This padding occurs after loading the css-files, so I assume its due to JS. To place the slider properly now, I had to do some styling-tricks – not nice.
I also recognized, that the slide-content is defined by a <div> (block-element) inside

• (inline-element). I’m sorry, but this is not valid HTML!
