Yes, changing the appearance relies on modifying the SLD. The default is to
use a red dot style that doesn't depend on any specific properties (and so
can successfully render any point layer). There is some information that
should help you get started at
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/styling/index.html .
I suggest you create a new style rather than modifying the existing one so
that any further layers you add can also be rendered.
