Default About fields in forms

So, I'm gleefully creating a form. But I've noticed that not all the text
fields look alike. Some have a bracket on either side of the form, visible
when the field is "shaded", and when it's not. When the "shaded" button is
turned off, the brackets remain and you can tell there is a field there.

Others have no brackets, and when you turn off the "shaded" button, they
disappear completely and there's nothing that indicates there is a field
there (though it is still there and working).

Why the difference? What consequences for my form? How do I turn the bracked
on and off, if it turns out I need it (or don't need it)?

Everything seems to work the same in either case, but usually differences
have a purpose and I don't have to go back later and change the fields after
doing all the work of putting them in. Thanks in advance.
