    Twenty eleven theme.

    First, I hate “leave a reply” words. How can I change it?
    one is the main page, one is inside of comment box.

    Second, How can I shrink comment box to make it much smaller and without that ugly grey backgroud.
    So far, I only figured out how to adjust comment form width and comment box height by defining width and height in #comments and #respond textarea#comment. But it’s far away from what I want.

    any solutions? thx

    I help very many here, but not all.

    Try Firebug.

    I haven’t done anything with the default themes in awhile so I’m not even sure if these will work with it. For your “Leave a reply” question you could try either one of these in your child theme’s functions.php file.

    // Add filter to change the text for commenting
add_filter('comment_form_defaults','comment_reform');

function comment_reform ($arg) {
	$arg['title_reply'] = __('Please leave a comment, gracious!');
	return $arg;
}

    **NOTE**
    You can change the words, “Please leave a comment, gracious!:” to anything you want.
    You can also change the function name “comment_reform” to whatever you want.

    Or you could try this, which has more options.

    add_filter('comment_form_defaults', 'name_of_your_function');

function name_of_your_function($defaults) {
	$defaults['title_reply'] = 'Your text';
	$defaults['title_reply_to'] = 'Your text %s';
	return $defaults;
}
