Custom registration form

Just wondering if its possible to change the layout of the registration form?

At the moment I've got a bit of a hack

components/com_comprofiler/plugin/templates/default/default.php

class CBRegisterFormView_html_default around line 212

function _render around line 267

Then instead of

echo $this->tabcontent;

I echo my own form

I'm sure this isn't the best way, just wondered if there was an alternative?

Many thanks, Russ
