I've got mine technically preforming the way I want with height & width : 100%; but I can't get the rest of the css to play nice ie the background, transparency and border-radius. No matter where I put them I don't get the results I want. I suspect I need to pull some of the css out of the default instantsearch.css and specific the elements but I just can't seem to grasp how to do that.

I did line-height : 20px; and a font of 13px to give lots of room everything kinda balanced out.
