I eventually went in and changed the css in joyride-2.1.css
.joyride-tip-guide {
position: absolute;
background: #000;
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.8);
display: none;
color: #fff;
width: 300px;
z-index: 101;
top: 0; /* keeps the page from scrolling when calculating position */
left: 0;
font-family: "HelveticaNeue", "Helvetica Neue", "Helvetica", Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif;
font-weight: normal;
-moz-border-radius: 4px;
-webkit-border-radius: 4px;
border-radius: 4px;
margin-top:-55px;
}
