Thanks David, the transparent time stuff worked a treat, I was almost
there before but I overlooked a timeline span I had set up as white
which of course sat on top and made out like I hadn't changed a
thing... doh!

Where would be the "right" place to call the re-sizing widget? I'm
not really familiar with exhibit so I'm not quite sure how it fits in
at the moment so I can mimic it for the timeline on it's own.

Many thanks.
