# CSS for caption/description

 * I’ve been trying to change the background color of the caption/description box,
   as well as the font. Not having much luck. I’ve adjusted the size of my slides
   to move the caption/description to below the images (see it here: [http://www.sky-lights.org/2017/05/15/qa-life-on-mars/](http://www.sky-lights.org/2017/05/15/qa-life-on-mars/)).
   Don’t want my images overlaid with text. Don’t need any transparency. What are
   the CSS descriptors for making these changes? Thanks.

 * OK, I figured out how to change the background and text. At least to the way 
   I wanted it. For those interested, here’s the CSS:
 * /* Sets parameters for Cyclone Slider caption title/description */
 * .cycloneslider-caption {
    opacity: 1.0 !important; }
 * .cycloneslider-caption-title, .cycloneslider-caption-description {
    font-family:
   Arial; color: #e6e6e6; background-color: rgb(50, 50, 50); }
 * But I can’t find any way to reduce the size of the box around the caption/description.
   I’d like it to be about half the height it is since my caption/description never
   runs more than one line. Any ideas?
