@Taylor3000: There are lot of differences between between Simple Catch Free and Pro version. You can see the list of additional features and instructions at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/simple-catch-pro/
1. Change the size of the Home Page Slider?
— If you are trying to change the height, then yes you can. In Simple Catch Pro theme, you can use “Featured Image Slider” instead of “Featured Post Slider”. In Image Slider, you can upload image, title, content and link as per your need. See this screencast for Image Slider: http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/
2. Get rid of the textured grid that appears in the background of the images on the slider? (I’d like the images to appear crisper/sharper.)
— You can remove this in both Free and Pro version. In Free version, just go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Post Slider => Slider Effect Options” then check in “Disable Slider Background Effect” and save changes. In Pro version, just go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options” then check in “Disable Slider Background Effect” and save changes.
3. In the gray area behind the Home Page Slider (sorry if the lingo isn’t exactly right) would I be able put in an image as a static background?
— To add background image. You first need to upload the image from media uploader “Media => Add New”. Then send me the image URL and your site URL. Then I will send you CSS that you can add in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
4. If I buy the Pro version and find I don’t like the look that I’m able to achieve do you offer any kind of return/refund policy?
— We don’t have any refund policy that is why we are providing free version for test ride. If you like it then you can purchase Pro version. But yes, if you don’t like it then we can exchange with other theme from our theme shop. But this has to be done within 30 days of purchase.
5. Given the type of website I’m trying to create, do you believe another one of your themes might be a better option?
— Sorry I won’t be able to answer this question. You can check our demo and use free version to test our latest theme and check in.
