I just updated the Action to allow you to add that. In the process, I added an external CSS file to set up some basic styles for you to work with. If you want to override these in your page, create new styles within your page that extend these:
http://cdn.freewaypro.com/chirp/0.3/chirp.css
In order to ensure that your styles override mine, mix in the ID of your HTML box that you’ve applied the Action to. Click once on the HTML box that you applied Chirp to, and make a note of the Name/ID (Title in Freeway 5 and lower) assigned to it in the Inspector. This value is case-sensitive!
Let’s say you wanted to assign some text styles to the tweets, and your box was named item42. Here’s what to do:
#item42 div.chirp {
font: 13px/17px 'Helvetica Neue Light', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #555;
}
#item42 a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #333;
}
#item42 a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
}
Now let’s say you wanted to put a darker rule between tweets:
#item42 span.meta {
border-bottom-color: #333;
}
There’s lots more you can do once you start fiddling!
Any of these styles could be added in a number of different ways: you could type them into a text file, name it whatever.css and use the External Stylesheets Action to apply them to your page; or you could use the Page / HTML Markup dialog to add a style block to the page head, like this:
<style type="text/css">
/* paste the styles here */
</style>
If you’re especially patient, you could read through the Tag-only Styles article on ActionsForge and learn how to create these styles directly in Freeway. (This is only for the masochistic among us – Freeway’s style editor is massively hamstrung when it comes to actual CSS editing – it’s optimized for other purposes.)
Hope this helps,
Walter

Well Walter it works. But… I read in this post about styling the feed. However… I still do not quite understand how this works. Can you explain step by step how I can style the feeds in order to have them separated by small lines and show the icons too.
