In your theme you can write new styles to override any core styling.

What you can do is copy the `view.php` and the `view.css` from the

`concrete/blocks/form`

folder and place it into a folder like this

`application/blocks/form/templates/customtemplate`

you can replace customtemplate with what ever you need make sure you use underscores for spaces \_ and all lowercase

then edit the view.css

it goes into it more here
