 * Hello guys,
    I’ve got a great problem with Smooth Slider within an important 
   site I’m creating, that’s why I’ve decided to ask your help. I’m trying to edit
   the css in order to change the arrows (next-prev), but some strange things are
   happening because when I use Firebug to control the css (smooth-slider/css/skins/
   default/style.css) this is totally different than the one uploaded to the server
   in the same position. How can this strange thing be possible?
 * The class I need to edit
 * /*Navigation */
    /* Next and Previous navigational arrows */ .smooth_slider .
   smooth_next {position: absolute;right: 0px;top:45%; width: 24px; height: 24px;
   cursor: pointer; background: transparent url(buttons/default/next.png) no-repeat
   0 0;} .smooth_slider .smooth_prev { position: absolute;left: 0px;top:45%; width:
   24px; height: 24px; cursor: pointer; background: transparent url(buttons/default/
   prev.png) no-repeat 0 0;}
 * does not exist in the css uploaded to the server!
 * Please answer if you can help me.
 * Thank you a lot.

 * Marie,
 * Start by creating your own skin folder in:
 * /wp-content/plugins/smooth-slider/css/skins
 * The best way is to make a copy of the ‘sample’ folder already there, and naming
   it something like ‘marie’.
 * Then, in the Settings panel, find:
 * **Smooth Slider Styles to Use on Other than Post/Pages**
 * In the drop-down menu, change the value from ‘default’ to ‘marie’. (It should
   be in there.)
 * Now your slider will always follow that style.css file in ‘marie’. Note that 
   it will also override style choices in your Settings panel.
