Hi Adam The iframe was added around the textarea when we added the toolbar buttons because otherwise clicking on a button will remove any active selection from the textarea as a side effect of removing focus.
There are some other ways to work around the same problem, notably using a contenteditable DIV instead of a textarea, but the other approaches sadly have their own problems too. In terms of styling, the framed editor renders an invisible textarea with the class specified in the "class" attribute and one by one copies the active styles from that template. Thus, one can usually target that invisible textarea with a CSS declaration referencing "textarea.tc-edit-texteditor".
