    I'd love for the white/opaque box for text on the slider to be clear, or go away so that the text is floating over the image. How can I change this code for that to happen? Any help is appreciated thanks!

    .slide-excerpt {
    background-color: #fff;
    filter: alpha(opacity=80);
    display: block;
    margin: 10px;
    opacity: 0.8;
    padding: 0;
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 8;
    }

    Alternately, how can I make the text space shorter vertically? I only need enough room for one line of text on each slide so I want the box to reflect that instead of looking too large. Thanks!
