Hi Robert,

You can check the source code of this example for how to control the 
size of the bubble window:

You need a little bit of Javascript code for that. Say you have an input 
text box with ID equal "year-textbox" and a button, then set an onclick 
event handler on the button to something like this

function onThatButtonClick() {
var textbox = document.getElementById("year-textbox");
var year = parseInt(textbox.value);
var date = new Date();
date.setUTCFullYear(year);
tl.getBand(0).setCenterVisibleDate(date);
}

Let me know if it's not clear.

We'd be glad to do that! Thanks!
