Anyone done custom template for FORM block?

Permalink
I'm designing a site and want to have a 'newsletter sign-up' with the form block but I need to style the text input area and button. I cannot figure out how to do this?
Any thoughts?
Typically I would use a custom template but the table layout of the form block is killing me. I can't get the code tow work out if I hard code it into the file. I tried using a block from the global scrapbook but when I submit it the form it takes me to the global scrapbook page to show the thank you message.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Better use the extended form block, it's easier to style, than dealing with the table layout.

Hey core crew, it's time for tabless output ;)

yea the core form block doesn't really follow the MVC framework,

there was a community form block somewhere

The community form block doesn't seem to be compatible with 5.4.X.
After installing I got this error on the add functionality page:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class FormBlockStatistics in C:\wamp\www\rynomedia\concrete\blocks\form\controller.php on line 405

now, how do I uninstall if the functionality page won't render?

Yes, I have. Have a look at my Contact Form example (http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/block_requests/contact-form-email#60262/) where I wrote everything myself from scratch and incl. my own form style, this should give you an idea.
