Yeah all the other changes I'm making are showing up. I've also checked in 3 browsers - Chrome, Opera, and Firefox and they're all displaying the same. To be perfectly honest I'm starting to like how it looks! But I'd really like the option to change it and to know what's going on for future projects.

Thanks a lot!

captionPosition="IMAGE_OVERLAY"

The correct value for captionPosition should be OVERLAY_IMAGE (not IMAGE_OVERLAY) (as noted in the Caption Options).
(You might also want to increase the value of maxCaptionHeight from 10 to something like 100.)

Oh I was so excited. I changed the word order (yikes how embarrassing) and the max caption height to 30 (already quite a bit taller than the font size I have specified). And the caption area got taller but it's still extending the width of the gallery. :( Here's the new code:

useFlickr="false"
    resizeOnImport="true"
    cropToFit="true"
    showLargeThumbs="false"
    showSmallThumbs="false"
    enableKeyboardControls="false"
    galleryTitlePosition="NONE"
    enableAutoPlay="true"
    autoPlayOnLoad="true"
    autoPlayThumbs="false"
    showAutoPlayStatus="false"
    enableLooping="true"
    enableTouchZoom="false"
    buttonBarPosition="NONE"
    showImageNumber="false"
    imageClickMode="NONE"
    imageTransitionTime="3"
    imagePadding="0"
    showImageNav="false"
    captionPosition="OVERLAY_IMAGE"
    imageFrameColor="rgba(0,0,0,1)"
    screenMode="AUTO"
    showImageOverlay="ALWAYS"
    splashShowImageCount="false"
    showSplashPage="NEVER"
    showThumbsButton="false"
    showExpandButton="false"
    showOpenButton="false"
    imageTransitionType="FADE"
    maxCaptionHeight="30"
    maxImageWidth="400"
    maxImageHeight="300"
    imageQuality="80"
    thumbWidth="85"
    thumbHeight="85"
    thumbQuality="90"
    galleryWidth="800"
    galleryHeight="400"
    captionHAlign="CENTER"

    imageScaleMode="NONE"
    backgroundColor="rgba(34,34,34,0)"

Hi all. I'm trying to get the captions to overlay on the image but for some reason they will only show up as overlay, at the width of the entire gallery instead of just the image. Here are my settings:

    useFlickr="false"
    resizeOnImport="true"
    cropToFit="false"
    showLargeThumbs="false"
    showSmallThumbs="false"
    enableKeyboardControls="false"
    galleryTitlePosition="NONE"
    enableAutoPlay="true"
    autoPlayOnLoad="true"
    autoPlayThumbs="false"
    showAutoPlayStatus="false"
    enableLooping="true"
    enableTouchZoom="false"
    buttonBarPosition="NONE"
    showImageNumber="false"
    imageClickMode="NONE"
    imageTransitionTime="2"
    imagePadding="0"
    showImageNav="false"
    captionPosition="IMAGE_OVERLAY"
    imageFrameColor="rgba(0,0,0,1)"
    screenMode="LARGE"
    showImageOverlay="ALWAYS"
    splashShowImageCount="false"
    showSplashPage="NEVER"
    showThumbsButton="false"
    showExpandButton="false"
    showOpenButton="false"
    imageTransitionType="FADE"
    maxCaptionHeight="20"
    maxImageWidth="300"
    maxImageHeight="200"
    imageQuality="80"
    thumbWidth="85"
    thumbHeight="85"
    thumbQuality="90"
    galleryWidth="700"
    galleryHeight="400"
    captionHAlign="LEFT"
    showPreloader="false"
    imageScaleMode="NONE"

any thoughts? Thanks!
