Bill:

Here's a thought about upgrading the appearance of your fields (but  
not about rounded corners). Drag a datagrid from the palette, set it  
to the size of your field, then capture its image with command- 
shift-4. Import the image, then place it behind your field. Set the  
textHeight of your field to 21. This looks very nice.

For example, I'd like to round the corners of the field. The only  
way I know how to do it is to put a graphic over the field that has  
rounded corners but that seems pretty tedious and clunky.


The look of the fields seems a bit dated so I'd like to dress them up.

Its still a hack, but you could use a graphic object rather than an image.
If you're after rounded corners then the rounded rectangle objects look
pretty good as long as you have antialiasing on and you can easily resize
and customize them (line colour, thickness etc). I'm sure you use this
approach to create a generic 'rounded' field object using parent scripts.
