Styling the actual popup window as opposed to its content

Are extensions capable of applying styles to the popup element itself rather than its children? I'd like to make the bezel thinner because it looks terrible with anything other than a white background. I assume one could do this in DOM but I'd rather deal with styles before JavaScript starts making things a pain.

Thanks!

Please leave us some feedback for what you want to do with the pop-up and why so we can include it in future discussions about whether to allow styling the pop-up or not.

It would be nice if the color of the padding around the popup's draw area matched the background color of the popup. At the moment, you are basically required to use #f4f4f5 for your popup background to keep it from looking ugly.

I suppose the best example of what I am wanting to do with the Opera pop-up is style it to look like the download list on newer versions of Safari (as that is essentially what I am making). It blends in with the color scheme of the window, is slightly transparent because it's a pop-up, it fits the look of OS X and is just generally pleasant to look at and use. I love the aesthetic properties of Opera, too, but I feel like there are certain things in the OS X version that conform to the visual standards of Cocoa interfaces.

To clarify I am *not* saying I think Opera is ugly or anything like that, so please do not take what I was saying in that way. p

This would be great.
