In what sense is (:searchbox:) messing up the design of the lightskin?
If it's simply too large, then try a smaller size:

    (:searchbox size=5:)

If you need more control than that, then try using some custom CSS
rules for the searchbox:

    .wikisearch { width:100px; }

If that's still not enough, we can create a custom searchbox markup,
or modify the existing searchbox markup to provide whatever hooks
are needed.
