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.
