 * Thank you for a great plugin!
    Is there a way to hide the caption (and its black
   background) so it only shows when you hoever the slideshow?

 * I figured it out:)
 * In the file jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js, just after the part that starts with 
   processCaption
 * I added:
 *     ```
       if(settings.captionHide){
       $('.nivo-caption', slider).hide();
       slider.hover(function(){
           $('.nivo-caption', slider).show ();
           }, function(){
           $('.nivo-caption', slider).hide ();
       });}
       ```
   
 * the at the very bottom, were the defaults are, I added
 * captionHide:true
 * In the css I added cursor:pointer to the .nivo-caption also.
