changing the look of the search box
 

I want to say thanks again for your quick responses to my questions. Is there any way to make the search box look like the boxes for the archives and categories drop downs? I would like to keep the magnifier on the same line also. thanks!!

At Atahualpa Theme Options -> Form fields: Style
delete the lines with border..

At Atahualpa Theme Options -> Form fields: Background image
delete "inputbackgr.gif"

that is great, thank you so much!!

I've got the search box how I want it now. On the same page I have a an email subscription form. I can't find the CSS for the search form, is there a class or ID I can apply to the mail subscribe form that will bring the style inline with the search form?

You can access the email form through its parent container, the text widget. All text widgets ahve an ID

Or, you edit the text widget and add a class to the input fields in there

<input name="name"/>

becomes

<input class="text inputblur" name="name"/>

text and inputblur are existing classes. inputblur for a width of 95%
