Complete control over Nivo Slider

I have implemented a Nivo Slider in my Drupal site and I am not getting the control I want for styling it.

I know by default Nivo Slider only supports Image, Title, and Link fields for Drupal rows. I did find a workaround to get the teaser to show with the title however:

but looking at the开发者_开发知识库 generated HTML in FireFox, I see that my DIVs do not get printed.

How can I get complete control over my Nivo Slider when using Drupal? I want to be able to print as many DIVs and use CSS to my heart's content. I've been stuck for hours playing around with the template files as well with no luck.
