[Tilesathome] Caption casings

Hi!

I think the new transparent caption casings don't improve legibility, but  
make it worse. Therefore I'd propose to revert this patch. As an  
alternative change I'd propose to make the casings thinner.

Here is a comparison between the current style and my new proposed style:

Nearly each caption is split in 2 parts with one being the old and one the  
new style.

What do you think?


Regards,

Hermann
