Nice!
Is this just for the icon, or can it be used for the slider and background too?

Congrats on the #1 spot @Brogan 
Question, I've browsed back a few pages with no luck and might be missing it but...
Can I promote a thread JUST to the slider and not have it show on the home page as well?
Our homepage will use your add-on, but it seems redundant(in our scenario) to have the slider then the same article right beneath it.

Sounds good, it's not a big deal as I won't be promoting every article into the slider, but in scenarios like this I suppose it's me being picky:
So ya I'd double the suggestion/idea of being able to promote just into the slider. No biggie but
thanks again once we style this we'll show everyone a preview, I have something pretty cool in mind.I'll add it back to the list for consideration.
In the meantime, you can target it using CSS as each entry has a unique li id.
Not ideal I know but it's a workaround.
Hmm, then again, you could actually edit the templates and use a conditional statement to only display threads which don't have a slider entry: <xen:if is="!{$sliderEntry.slider}">...</xen:if>
If you need some help with that, let me know.

This is probably close to the final layout.
It may seem odd having blank spaces below the attachment thumbnails; I experimented with square thumbs but a lot of the image context was lost, due to the majority of them being wider than they are taller.
I believe therefore this is a better approach, even if it isn't quite as neat as a uniform grid of identically sized images.
This screenshot with the scroll and overflow removed shows what all of the attached thumbs look like.
So you can see how the actual grid is uniform and each thumbnail retains the correct ratio.
The grid size is based on the attachment thumbnail dimensions set in the options.

Couldn't you just remove the border from around the attachment images? That way it wouldn't look so odd

This looks good!

I think this is the best-looking option for the attached images.
