Various theme / layout adjustments

@Aggelos777 this has your commits that I cherry picked

I adjusted the select boxes size and padding and checked across chrome / Fx  on Windows, Mac, Ubuntu with both the default and besocial variants, also checked ie8 on XP and ie11 on win7, this is the best compromise I can come up with short of doing the styled selects.  

At issue is that each OS / Browser combo responds differently to the same css, some rules by the same browser are ignored depending on which OS you are running under, etc (thats why we tried the styled ones with that extra div which essentially made them an input box style and therefore the same everywhere but it did add a bunch of markup as well).
