Item4639: Recent style change in PatternSkin makes the frame round text fields look far too dramatic in Internet Explorer

The shadow effect added look OK in FF but in IE it becomes an almost solid black border which stands out far too much on a TWiki page.

I don't see any differences in color whatsoever. These are screenshots of browser rendering of textareas in Pattern Skin:

Any particular page you are seeing this?

The comment frame is pretty black on my LCD monior. The above 3 I agree look quite OK

That is a plain textarea, not a styled twikiTextarea.

Yes, you are right.

So actually it seems our style sheets no longer style the plain textareas then. Any reason not to do that?

Problem is that html does not discern buttons and input fields, they all are input. So I cannot style them differently (in the previous version of pattern skin all form elements were styled - in a uniform way: form input fields, textareas and buttons all had 1 pixel border).

We could style the textarea, but that would be just an exception so I am not for this.
