More learning CSS with me folks. Learning is fun.

I have a SELECT box, and I'm wanting to control it with css, I can control the border, background colour, font etc. easily enough, but is it possible to change the grey down-arrow button?

nope. That's handled ('windowed') at OS level, so is typically beyond the reach of client-side code.
Some have chosen to mimic (+ style) it by using a dhtml doodad triggered by a mouseover or onclick.
