Conflicts with nivo-slider module [#1817078]

I suggest to use Nivo slider instead of using your own slider
There are many pros doing so
1) Nivo slider is very flexible, lightweight and has many features and themes
2) There is already a stable nivo slider module that can be used to configure the slider

The only con I can think of is that it will require extra steps to setup the theme
You can see an example in the likeable theme, even the slider theme is quite the similar

I think that it should be an option to hook into Nivo and use that instead, OR use the built-in slider.
For many sites it is great to avoid unnecessary module (and external libraries) dependencies.

Title:	Use Nivo slider instead	» Conflicts with nivo-slider module
Category:	feature	» bug

On my site I managed to use Nivo slider instead of the built in one using the nivo-slider module and place the nivo lider block on the header region.
however I had to comment some of the CSS related to the built in slider due to conflicts.
I also gave up the original styling

Maybe it is better to change the title of this to issue to "conflicts with nivo-slider module"
