I've just started to actually implement Zend Form, so far it's going well but
it seems far too difficult (read over the top) to actually make changes to
the way the form is displayed.

Maybe I'm not understanding the documentation properly, but is it possible
to remove all the default decorators from the form ($form = new
Zend_Form(array('disableLoadDefaultDecorators' => true));) Only seems to
remove the default form decorators? I want groups and elements stripped too?

I've done it so far by handling the elements, then the groups, then specific
submit button, cancel button and hidden elements, in my opinion I want
something clean which I can then put my own code on to without having to
disable everything first! (I do realise everyone is different, it just
appears the ZF is focusing on trying to do everything, rather than forcing
the developer to get their hands dirty!).

Is there a way to change the decorators on all buttons, or all text boxes?

Is it possible, if I develop a concrete layout decorator to render
everything, based on the example in the manual (although I can't for the
life of me find the example now), to tell the type of each form element and
change the rendering?

Sorry if all this has been covered before, I've been scouring the mailing
list for examples (and a lot of it has been helpful).

Otherwise it's an excellent addition and I look forward to settling down to
it!
