Where do I find information on styling my application to facebook look/feel in a PHP/JS (JavaScript) canvas app in an iframe?

I have some code that is a FBML canvas app, but facebook is phasing that out and it seems you can only use the new PHP API with an iframe and the javascript (XFBML) SDK.

I have most of it working, but I can not figure out some simple things – like in FBML to show a nice facebook styled message, I could just do:

<fb:success><fb:message><?php echo $fbmessage; ?></fb:message></fb:success>

or

<fb:error message="An error has occurred." />

Those FBML tags seem to no longer parse – probably not supported by XFBML. So what are the replacements, or even better, where is the documentation on how to use the new iframe/javascript canvas setup and style it easily? Maybe a CSS file? JS calls? XFBML plugins?

Thanks!

    There are no real guidelines for iFrame applications. Maybe it’s worth consulting with a front end designer/developer to devise a visual framework for your application.
