Black box behind text in titles

Black box behind text in titles was created by Warrick81
Hello!
So, I'm fairly new to FCPX, and I have just made a little film.
In the end I've used one of the titles and put some info in it. Thing is, the text I've added in the box takes up more space than the example text. Which means that the text continues outside of the dark grey box behind it. To me, that doesn't look good. Can I expand the size of the box, or can I simply get rid of it?

Welcome, Michael, to fcp.co 
several options:
stack a Solid Generator & Basic Title upon your clip, crop it as you like …
several options:
- in case you own Motion, right/opt-click on the Title 'Open in Motion' and modify to your needs
- in case, you're an advanced user of Motion, create your own plugin, which auto-adjusts the box to the text
- dig thru our depository of free plugins , I vaguely remember a Title with that feature…
- use FCPX built-in options:
stack a Solid Generator & Basic Title upon your clip, crop it as you like …
