changing title css on genesis slider

[little shivaParticipant Post count: 26]

I installed the responsive genesis slider plugin and am disappointed by the way titles display. There’s only one option and I don’t like it, in any position (top, right, bottom, left). The type is too big for the picture and the transparent box behind it clashes too. Is there any way to add titles more discreetly? My slider is only 800 x 300 and I don’t want half of it eaten up by some hideous block of text.

I can’t show you the URL because it’s hiding behind an “under construction” page. This is the slider I’m talking about: http://www.studiopress.com/plugins/genesis-responsive-slider

I’m not very good with code. I opened firebug and selected the text to inspect, but don’t know what to do with the answers. Here’s a screenshot. I’d like to modify the transparent box position and the type size of the titles. Having the title run across the bottom starting in the lower left corner would be better than having it all over the picture. http://www.sap-rood.net/i/firebug-screenshot.png

The red is the hover state for that text – normally it’s black.

Can anyone please provide an explicit example? I’m not so great with code…
