Hi alchymyth.
I just got the solution from the template maker, simplefolio.

$category = sf_get_category_id(get_option('sf_portfolio_category'));
$slide_count = (get_option('sf_slider_slides')) ? get_option('sf_slider_slides') : 18;
$text_count = (get_option('sf_slider_chars')) ? get_option('sf_slider_chars') : 100;

$my_query = new WP_Query('showposts='.$slide_count.'&cat='.$category);

Thanks for the fast reply.
