In one of the updates, you should give the input function some variables, so you can make it embeddable and change the background color of the box, like

mob/var
   name = input(Title,x1,y1,x2,y2,Background Color)

The X and Y variables would be if you were to embed it onto the screen. To change the size of it on the screen, just set the y variables to a higher number.

Too bad that'd probably never compile.

I doubt input() will ever change that much, but you can control the formatting any way you desire using a webform and get input through a browser popup now. In BYOND 4.0, we should be able to control the exact position of the browser.

Well you could do your own on the player's client.screen, but that would belong in another topic on different forums.
