It seems like the only option is just experimenting with the CSS. But, instead of experimenting with his CSS, you might just strip all of his out that you can and start over.
At least that way you'll have a better idea of what is going on. I've always used ClueTip, so I'm sorry I can offer your guidance from experience. Perhaps others on the list can step up. Or, you might do some search on Google for "How to style the jQuery ClueTip plug-in". Perhaps that will provide some help, too.
