Further Customisations - .pm files

Hi There,
 
I've managed to customise the .pm files to a certain degree, but I really want some more flexibility with them in order to fit them into my overall ring's design.
 
My main impediments at the moment are:
 
1) I am unable to define styles for the input boxes on all the pages. I'm sure that the css for this is there SOMEWHERE, I just have to play around a bit more to find out where it is exactly, and if a guru here could let me know and save me the time/hassle it would be greatly appreciated.
 
2) the buttons on the left. I would prefer to be able to incorporate ringlink more seamlessly, ie get rid of the buttons completely. If you would be able to tell me which variables I could use to generate text/graphics links, that would be much appreciated. Again im sure I could work it out with a bit more playing around, but this is a hobby - and sometimes real work/study takes precedence!
 
Also, just a general comment: the overall script is 100% awesome, I mean there's TONNES of functionality and power and it's terribly easy to install, but for people who aren't completely au fey with cgi etc like me that want to customize the .pm files further, it really is hard. Perhaps (and only if you feel it necessary) in future versions some kind of template customization built in to admin.pl might be something to think of? If you're not sure what I mean, think the template customizations in weblog software such as moveable type or greymatter. The variables are listed there, it's just a matter of putting your html/css around the variables. I'm 100% sure that the tonnes of css (that's no doubt taken ages to put together) is just not necessary for my kind of site; in fact i've basically made as much of the backgrounds/text as possible the one uniform colour/font/etc.
 
But i'm sure you have better things to do than to cater to the whims of ungreatful brats like me ;P
 
Thanks in advance.
