I don\'t want to turn off resizing completely, but the resize handles on textareas don\'t fit with the rest of the page style. Is there a way I can change how it looks, perh
This is a tough one. There is no way of styling this specific control. Even if you force a different appearance under webkit you still get the damn resize handle:

You can, however, work around it and place a background image in the bottom left corner:

But the handler will still appear on top of it.
I'm afraid the only alternative is using jQuery UI resizable:
