Adrian,
I came across the ".box" styles just yesterday when I was writing a new
maincss.css file.
After redefining the screenlet, screenlet-title-bar and screenlet-body there
was still some screen not correctly styled (like catalog main screen) and
then I did discover the .box styles.
I had to copy the rules to the .box also.
So definitively a +1 for this.
