 * Hi. Is there a way, to show the image caption in a diashow under the images and
   not over the images? Like this, its nearly not possible, to read the text.
 * here the link with the sample.

 * I’m afraid that’s not possible. You can choose to have the captions on or off.
 * I hope that clarifies things! Marking as resolved.

 * Since the text is overlaying the image, a transparent background wouldn’t do 
   much to make the text stand out. You can use the following class to target that
   text and add a background (whether a solid color or one that has opacity) using
   CSS:
 * `.slideshow-slide-caption`
 * I hope that helps.
