    Hi,

    I am looking for a theme that would allow me to use a slider in the home page top area. In mimimum pro, that is a background area and in others it is home widget one but all seem to have it as a background image. It looks like kickstart is the only theme that would allow a slider. I prefer to use to use minimum pro or another. Anyone know how to modify a theme to have it use a slider and is it easier on certain themes and it so, I would want to use a theme that would be easier to change. I have not yet started work on this so there is no url.

    That would require some work as its not simply a matter of adding a slider to the widget if you also want to float the widget content over the slider.

    Here's a tutorial for replacing the front page 1 widget background image with a slider.

    If you only want to display the slider in the widget area, you can add the shortcode for the slider to a text widget in the front page 1 widget area. No need to add code.
