Ok well I'm kinda new to dreamweaver although its pretty much easy :ph34r: But my problem is I don't know how to customize the font colors of the fields and the backround etc... So I was wondering if someone here could help me with it. Because it dosen't acutally give much options to customize. So if anybody could help I would really appreciate it! Thanks. :)

you would need to learn css for that. but once you figure that out. its very simple. i dont want to explain in it detail because it sounds like you're just getting started and you probably wouldnt understand it, so heres some quick code you can insert into the <head></head> tags of an html page which would change forms appearances.

<style type="text/css">
input{
    background:#000;
    color:#fff;
}
</style>

#000 is hex for black, which would make background forums black. then #fff would make the text color white.

You can do so with CSS, heres some resources:

Of course you'll need to flip your dreamweaver into code-view to type this stuff in.
Good luck :)
