Hi hi,
You can add classes to any Form field with the method "addExtraClass".
So, for example, you might have:
$nameField = new TextField("Name", "Name");
$nameField->addExtraClass('customNameFieldClass');
Now you can jump into any of your css files (or use Requirements::themedCSS($stylesheet) to add a new stylesheet) and apply whatever styling you like.
You can also style by ID - have a look at the generated source for the form you want to style and you'll see there is a pattern. For example, the standard login form 'name' field is called "MemberLoginForm_LoginForm_Email", so you could style by the ID if you prefer.
