I’m sorry to hear about your troubles. The sizing settings work on a slider and they are set to slide by even numbers. It’s meant to make changing the size easier not harder When your controlling a size with the slide of a mouse changing by two makes the control a little easier to get where you want. Between that and the clearer resize I hadn’t ever considered this as a forced setting, more of a helpful one… I am sorry you feel this way about it.
As for overriding that is certainly possible through a child theme. There is no “forced” thing this theme is trying to do to you. Only give you great options. The pixel difference from 1038 to 1037 is I hope not something that would make this theme un-usable.
If your looking to override the template to work in is templates/home/flex-slider.php
As for your previous review… I just took a look again. Seems in my comments I must have not communicated well enough how databases can work with theme options like virtue has. Serialization is key and if you try to do a straight copy and paste it will not work… You can read this on wordpress’s site here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Moving_WordPress
And here is the section I would like to draw your attention too:
If you do a search and replace on your entire database to change the URLs, you can cause issues with data serialization, due to the fact that some themes and widgets store values with the length of your URL marked. When this changes, things break. To avoid that serialization issue, you have three options:
Use the Better Search Replace or Velvet Blues Update URLs plugins if you can access your Dashboard.
Use WP-CLI’s search-replace if your hosting provider (or you) have installed WP-CLI.
Run a search and replace query manually on your database. Note: Only perform a search and replace on the wp_posts table.
I certainly hope you continue to user our free theme and that you find it very usable.
