Featured Slider: making entry-container always show

Hi, I just set up a new install of Full Frame today. I've been able to get the Featured Sliders to work pretty much as I'd like; the one exception is that the slider entry content text (default in white text) doesn't show up well against the background. I'd prefer to have the entry-container box around it, which is a semi-opaque grey, always visible, as opposed to only on mouse-over. What is the best way to ensure the entry-container box is always visible?
