I just found myself looking for a solution to the same thing. I have a feeling a custom jquery function will have to be implemented to resize and change the padding.

I have found a bug in this code. On line 100, you see the style "display: block-inline;". That is actually backwards. It should be "display: inline-block;"

Even with CSS3, you still need to calculate the speed.
