[OpenLayers-Users] GeoRSS layer; what CSS to tweak to make it look nicer?

I seem to have partly answered my own question, by examining the source, 
and will mention it here for posterity.

The JS to generate the popups is in lib/OpenLayers/Layer/GeoRSS.js 
around line 150. The CSS items in question are:
div.olPopup                  The popup div itself.
div.olPopupContent         Inside the popup, contains the items below.
div.olLayerGeoRSSClose     The X in the popup.
div.olLayerGeoRSSTitle     The title.
div.olLayerGeoRSSTitle link   The title hyperlink itself.
div.olLayerGeoRSSDescription   The description.



A mental note: width and height cannot be used in this CSS, as the size 
of popups is set by some constants in Layer/GeoRSS.js at line 147. Might 
I suggest to the OL team that this line be modified to read as follows, 
thus allowing popup sizes to be adjusted instead of being hardcoded?
data.popupSize = new OpenLayers.Size(OpenLayers.Popup.WIDTH,
                                      OpenLayers.Popup.HEIGHT);
