 * Hi,
 * The text is inside a transparent element, which makes the text transparent as
   well.
 * You can solve this by creating a custom stylesheet and using a transparent image
   as background. You can find out how to create custom stylesheet in the [FAQ section](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/slideshow-jquery-image-gallery/faq/).
 * When editing the custom stylesheet, find this line:
 * `.slideshow_container .slideshow_description { background: #000; width: 100%;}`
 * Then replace it with the following:
 *     ```
       .slideshow_container .slideshow_description {
           filter: alpha(opacity = 100) !important;
           opacity: 1.0 !important;
           background: #000 url('URLToTheTransparentImageOfYourChoice');
           width: 100%;
       }
       ```
   
 * Don’t forget to put the URL to the transparent image of your choice in the CSS
   code.
 * Best regards,
    Stefan

 * Thanks Stefan
 * However, I don’t have a transparent image as such. I would just like to be able
   to have the semi-transparent background color and reset the text to being normal
   opacity.
 * I hope this is possible.

 * Actually scrub that. I have created the tranparent image and it works.
 * Although listing background color in the attributes completely defeats the object.

 * You can always set the background color with the image, but without the color:`
   background: url('URLToTheTransparentImageOfYourChoice');`
