If you only want a specific class for the first post, but use the same layout, you can use {$postcounter} variable in your postbit/postbit_classic template.
Something like this:

<td class="trow2 post_content mytrow{$postcounter} {$unapproved_shade}">

Then create .mytrow1 class in your global.css.

If you want a specific layout for your first post, install XThreads, create postbit_first and/or postbit_first_classic template in your Global Templates, then style/design it as you want.

thanks so much RateU, i'll use the XThreads plugin
