You can customize the cloud by editing the relevant CSS file:
[strike]modules/mod_cpsearch/css/style.css[/strike]
modules/mod_cpcloud/css/cpcloud.css

The default css stylesheet does the bare minimum as not to override your template CSS and to make use of the styles the template authors defined for links.

Thank you for your very prompt follow-up, I almost lost hope to have such support speed since I join the joomla comunity...:) you're marking a lot of good points in my list of suppliers here!

To come back to the customization, I am not a coder and CSS always need gidance and example for me to adventure in it..
The least I am looking for is:
-1- to increase the font size range from the minimum (witch is fine) to the largest (that could go 5 to 10 point larger than what I get for now).
-2- to be able to control rate at which it is regenerated to create a sort of attention catcher while the words are re-shuffling...

Hope you can help me with that...
Alain

- increase font size:
inside file [strike]modules/mod_cpcloud/css/style.css[/strike] modules/mod_cpsearch/css/cpcloud.css you find the following lines that determine the font size:
Code:
.cpcloud1{ font-size : 10px; } .cpcloud2{ font-size : 11px; } .cpcloud3{ font-size : 12px; } .cpcloud4{ font-size : 14px; } .cpcloud5{ font-size : 16px; }
Tags used less frequently are given the CSS class .cpcloud1. Most frequent tags are given CSS class .cpcloud5
You can make the font bigger by changing the font-size statement. E.g. from 16px to 22px.
Also you can make the font bold by adding the following statement.
font-weight: bold;
Example:
Code:
.cpcloud5{ font-size : 22px; font-weight: bold; }
With this change the most prevalent tags will be rendered with a 22px bold font.

Point 2 is not clear to me. In fact the tag cloud is generated before the page is displayed and no transformations occurs afterwards.

I apologize. I wrote the wrong filename, twice.
The file you need to edit is:
modules/mod_cpcloud/css/cpcloud.css
