new FormAction('submit', 'Submit')
);

parent::__construct($controller, $name, $fields, $actions);
}

Hi

If you are using SS 2.4 you can use setTemplate('yourTemplate'), default template is Form.ss

Now is you just want to change style, you can include an extra css with the style for the TextField. This is easier because you don't need to create a new template.

your form:

your css for 'yourName' textField:
#Form_CoolForm_yourName { font-size: 16px; blabla... }
