so i was hopin someone could send me in the right direction here

i need to change the look of my login form that is generated by feu

it looks funny

but i cant figure out how to edit it?

can anyone help?

I don't have a solution to your problem, but will say that I have recently begun playing with FEU and have some of the same issues if I can infer in your post that the look of some of the standard FEU input boxes and associated text are the problem.  I have been playing around with the FEU Login Template on a test server I run, as well as creating my own entry into the site stylesheet I have been using, but all I can seem to alter is the names given to the descriptors for the fields, somewhat the placement in my header (just where I was trying to put the login boxes, etc.), but I can't seem to alter the size of the boxes nor really the arrangement of except to the left side of the header, or the right side (all done in my default stylesheet) or I can remove the br/ tags in the FEU login template and get the boxes to all line up, but they take up to much space in my header. 

Since I know less than zero about CSS, this is all mostly a hack job on my part, but I learn stuff this way so it is helpful.  I think what I am almost to the point of believing is that I need to either NOT put the FEU login stuff in my header, OR need to somehow embed a custom stylesheet into the header that has all the requirements of how the FEU parameters should look.

I guess all of that is to say I wish I could change the size of the boxes and text to make them sit off somewhere and not be so hoggish on the part of the page I am putting them on.

Does any of this resemble the issues you are having?  If I come up with anything good, I'll try to post back.  In the meantime, maybe one of the many gurus on here will have the answers.  I wish I could remember some other pages I have seen that have what I am describing so I could post that link as a visual reference.

a) The standard solution for modifying the lookout of the modules is:
    i) embed the call to the module in your page template or page content
        (you may want to wrap that with a i.e: {FrontEndUsers}
    i) modify the appropriate template
        in this case it's the FrontEndUsers Login Template
    ii) style away
        I would suggest creating a new stylesheet, attaching it to your page template, and placing all of your
        module specific styles in there

b) Though input field size can be adjusted with CSS, the size of the login and password fields in FEU are
    dictated by the FEU preferences.

that explains why its so plain

its open for css

which is actually smart and intuative

if only your users were as well

ie.. me <---lol
