I need to change the way OE is displayed when editing a XML field. How do I do that?
I know I can edit ezxmltext_ezdhtml.tpl, but I want to know what's the right way to do it.

Well a few thing. The width and height, the background color, the spacing between textarea and buttons... I wan't to integrated OE with the design of my site, for now it looks too different from the site.

Then no problem with this. You only need to modify corresponding CSS. First you need to find out what classes are used there for elements you want to alter. You can check templates and .js source. You can find HTML strings in .js code and check classes there, for example you can find out what classes are used for toolbar in 'createToolbar' function.

Well, that's what I tought of too, but I would like to know (from someone with experience) what's the best way to change OE's look.For example is it better to change the look by changing appropriate CSS classes, or by changing directly the HTML in the template?
