They can be more friendly too.
* Focused input has black border.
* Reset button has red text - you will never click on it by accident
* Really large textareas
* hover effects on buttons, selects and checkboxes
There is only one downside - you will never see what styling webmaster put on his buttons
It is based on exellent Industrial Forms by Garret LeSage

Its nice but it busts many things in the latest trunk build (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050912 Firefox/1.6a1) Text on buttons in Firefox (buttons in Preferences window for example) are missing. The throbber is also MIA. Aside from that it works OK, but the bugs above make it unusable at this point. The check/radio elements do not also display correctly, ending up with a awful looking mishmash of the current look and the clearlooks looks.
Well, I do not plan installing a trunk(1.9) buitd yet :) Hovewer, in branch(1.8) (Fx 1.5) it works ok.
Works in Trunk now.
This is great! I was searching something similar for veeery loooong time. Thanks! :)))
You've done a very good job, but I think you should add ' html|input[type="reset"] ' in the Buttons section of the platform-forms.css.
To avoid accidential clicking on Reset button I gave it red border. I think this button is useless and IMO better solution would be display:none But you can add it to your userContent yourself if you want to.
