The default CSS code appears in the List Rotator text editor.

Change this

TD.cssTitle{text-align: right;font-weight: bold;}

TD.cssTitle{text-align: center;font-weight: bold;}

click Save to save your changes.

6. Make any other changes to the web part configuration (i.e., speed of rotation). When ready click Apply and then OK at the bottom of the tool pane to save and apply your changes.
