Nivo Slider transition effects and Workz Wordpress theme - wordpress

Question

I'm trying to alter the transition effects on the Nivo Slider that comes on the home page of the Workz theme (found here), but cannot find the javascript. I've looked in the PHP files but unless I'm missing it somwehere, I don't seem to be able see the relevant script. I want to change the effect to 'fade' only and slow the transitions down to about 5-6 seconds. There's no slider menu with the theme. Any help much appreciated.

If you cant find the settings anywhere in theme particularly in functions.php then try to change this javascript file in
yourwordpressurl/wp-content/themes/workz/js/jquery.nivo.slider.js?ver=3.5
line 8 and 9 of the file shows speed and duration that you can change in miliseconds
change 3000 to 5000 or 6000
the line with effect: 'random' change 'random' to 'fade'
jQuery(function($){
$(window).load(function() {
$('#slider_nivo').nivoSlider({
effect: 'random', // Specify sets like: 'fold,fade,sliceDown' <-- set to fade
slices: 15, // For slice animations
boxCols: 8, // For box animations
boxRows: 4, // For box animations
animSpeed: 300, // Slide transition speed
pauseTime: 3000, // How long each slide will show <-- this is 3 seconds
startSlide: 0, // Set starting Slide (0 index)
directionNav: true, // Next & Prev navigation
directionNavHide: false, // Only show on hover
controlNav: true, // 1,2,3... navigation
controlNavThumbs: false, // Use thumbnails for Control Nav
controlNavThumbsFromRel: false, // Use image rel for thumbs
controlNavThumbsSearch: '.jpg', // Replace this with...
controlNavThumbsReplace: '_thumb.jpg', // ...this in thumb Image src
keyboardNav: true, // Use left & right arrows
pauseOnHover: true, // Stop animation while hovering
manualAdvance: false, // Force manual transitions
captionOpacity: 0.6, // Universal caption opacity
prevText: 'Prev', // Prev directionNav text
nextText: 'Next', // Next directionNav text
beforeChange: function(){}, // Triggers before a slide transition
afterChange: function(){}, // Triggers after a slide transition
slideshowEnd: function(){}, // Triggers after all slides have been shown
lastSlide: function(){}, // Triggers when last slide is shown
afterLoad: function(){} // Triggers when slider has loaded
}); // END nivo
});// END window load
});// END function
Change the line with 3000 to 5000 or 6000 to set to 5 or 6 seconds.
