I am a little late with this, but wanted to mention some new options available in
2.5.7 . In the download block, a custom image can be used next to the download link. I happen to use the download image that comes with
BlogSphere . You can also control the text in front if that is what you would like. This is option is available in the ‘Block Configuration’ section of the ‘Blog Configuration’.

The web polls also got a face lift. Here are some of the customization that you can now control, there is more. One of the big things is controlling how big and where the results window is.
These options will appear in the new section ‘Poll Settings’ of the ‘Blog Configuration’.

I think all of the text can be customized to your hearts content. The settings are available in the ‘Components’ section of your CSS. Here is just some of my CSS.

Thanks to everyone who help me with the testing.
