Changing layout of comment area in articles

[koolaid]

SMF version: 1.1.4
TP version: 0.9.8
Theme name and version: Darkbreak
Mods installed: none

This is how the comment area currently looks like:

couple of questions:

- Could you pull the rating info from one article and place it somewhere else? What i would like to do is have a general page where all the ratings would be placed/pulled from the individual articles.

- Could the comment area but more like a forum post? like it would show the avatar and nick mainly.

- i found a option that says "Show stars instead of numbers" in TP --> setting. Where do i make the changes so i can add stars instead of the blocks (as shown in the pic above) into stars?

- Can you remove the subject line (Re: Visual Options)? in the input area and when comments are displayed?

- Is there a way to have a comment do <p> on its own when a comment is made so theres a little more space separating the info of the poster?

- Where it says "Commenting option has been turned off for this article." How can i change the font size so that its a bit bigger?

Thanks~

Most of these things are template and css changes, so have a look at tportal.template to get started.
