remove featured text and

Hi all, first many thanks for so a great theme. really well done. my question, is there any way to remove the featured text box and text from the slider on a static page. i have 4 slides that showcase various things and they don't need any explanation. i have seen various posts that are connected with styling the text within the featured slider or how to remove the : from the box by editing the function.php but as i say i need to remove the box below the slider image itself as well as the text. i can do this in firebug and the small description box collapses without showing any text and it looks very good but i cant seem to find the right code to go into the Custom CSS Styles. i am prepared to create a child theme and edit the functions.php if that's what it takes but if there's a simple css styling option available would rather try that. i am running the latest version of the theme as well as the latest version of wordpress. i have tried: main-slider .entry-container { display: none; } but that didn't seem to work for me. any help much appreciated. sakino
