To answer your questions:
1.) Yes this is just a static input box we used for demo purposes only. You would need some sort of content module in order to do this. Then just assign it to one of the module positions in the s5 tab show
2.) Open up the styles.css (line 84) file which is loacted in the module s5 tab show folder then edit the padding right below:
#s5_button_frame ul li {
cursor:pointer;
float:left;
font-size:13px;
font-weight:bold;
margin-right:0;
padding-left:0;
padding-right:11px; }
3.) Same file as above, styles.css (line 156)
ul li span.s5_tabmiddle {
background:transparent url(../s5_tabshow/s5_tab_show_mb.png) repeat-x scroll 0 0;
display:block;
float:left;
font-size:11px;
height:25px;
line-height:23px;
padding-left:8px;
padding-right:8px;
}
