 * Use CSS. There are lots of good CSS tutorials around the web.

 * Could you kindly provide some links?
 * I’ve explored numerous tutorials, but perhaps my choice of keywords isn’t quite
   right for what I’m seeking.

 * Actually, my first answer was wrong.
 * The main problem here is that the taxonomy list dropdown is an `option` tag, 
   and pretty much the only things you can style are the colours. Usually when people
   do custom-styled dropdowns, the `select` and `option` tags need to be swapped
   with something else that can be styled. That’s a bit more complex, though, and
   is not really a Relevanssi support question but a general web dev question.

 * Ah OK.
 * Is the loading animation also impossible to change?

 * Yes, I suppose so, unless you modify it a lot. But this is really outside my 
   expertise. You’ll get better answer for this from people who are CSS experts.
   The question isn’t restricted to Relevanssi or even WordPress, so asking around
   elsewhere will get you better results.
