Hi Arnim,

I have used the contour on a project where I styled the form fields like input fields and the  textarea by using CSS. Don´t know if it´s a good solution to you or if is best practice. But you can do like this in CSS file for the Contour. The default form styling for Contour forms is located here: \umbraco\plugins\umbracoContour\css\defaultform.css

This is a example

#contour input.text, #contour textarea
{
    width: 300px;
    padding: 5px;
}

#contour textarea
{
    height: 250px;
}

I hope this could be a solution for you.

Yup css or you could look into updating the default form views
