You can create your own template and may add extra field and use your
style sheet.

You can always add your own custom fields, by default they override
the default fields that becomes with the modelform, and there is an
optional parameter "attributes", which is used to add css class to
your fields.

A standard way to do this is via CSS. When you render your form in
your template, add suitable class or id attributes to the fields you
want to customize. Then, define styles for those elements in your CSS
in order to customize their appearance.

Customizing ModelForm fields appearance

[sagi s]

I really like the concept of generating a form from a model using
ModelForm but would like to customize the apprearance slightly (e.g.
size of the TextInput etc.).

Any suggestion as to how to do this?

I looked at the forms module code but got lost in the maze of the meta
programming...

Thanks in advance
