Thank you! Mary, I'm writing because at this late date (Dec. 2011) I need to go back to Evo owing to Revo's missing, client-friendly frontend. Which means I'm working with jot instead of quip and I walked through your splendid tutorial here, but can't customize my calls the way I would like because this remark of yours is suddenly far from redundant: ' If you look at the MODx wiki linked to below, you’ll see the long list of parameters, their default values, and what they do. I won’t go through all of them as that would be redundant.' All 'Further Resources' have gone 404. I've wended my way through plenty of German and English MODx threads picking up this and that, but it would be great to see the missing wiki, or find some original documentation. Any leads? (I have the MODx Web Developer book, but also there - jot-parameter-wise - it's 'wish to learn more? Consult the wiki'...) Hi Mary, great work! Thank you!

All Jot stuff is in assets/snippets/jot/. Sometimes the code have assign ID and classes but you can't see the because no css have been created but since ID and classes already exist you can create a new css style for them. Also, you can do a 'Search and Replace' with Dreamweaver, etc. and look for something, i don't know, #000, font-size, etc. This post was long time ago but it can help some one else.

Never new about !important thats really useful thanks Mary HI Alex thanks for your advice, but i want to combine my external css file into one and not create another one, i think thats bad for page speed. I cannot say much tho I have four external css files on my site .. Mary thanks for your advice

But I managed to sort it by adding these to lines of code into the jot.css file

.jot-form {margin-bottom: 10px;color:#ffffff;}
.jot-form fieldset {border: 0.5px color:#ffffff;}

Often I look to find a solution to a problem the most difficult way possible, not realiseing the answer right there infront of me lol.

Also, you can create a custom .css (my-style.css) and put in it class name you want to change. Then, link it after your last and it'll take presedence overwriting the class, this way you don't have to go crazy looking for it. Hi Michael!
