Zend Framework Class in Custom Form Decorator

I am using a custom form decorator found at: http://code.google.com/p/digitalus-cms/source/browse/trunk/library/Digitalus/Form/Decorator/Composite.php?r=767

At the bottom of the file (line 70) is: 

 $output = '<div class="form_element">'
                . $label
                . $input
                . $errors
                . $desc
                . '</div>';

I would like to make the DIV class dynamic and passed when I create the elements in my controller. Any built-in ZEND functions I use only modifies the LABEL or INPUT. Here's an example of my element creation:

$decorator = new Composite();

        $this->addElement('text', 'start', array(
            'label'      => 'Start Number',
            'required'   => true,
            'filters'    => array('StringTrim'),
            'validators' => array(
                'alnum',
            ),
            'decorators' => array($decorator)
        ));

Any ideas would be very much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to look!

Now sure why all CSS classes are hardcoded, if you are allowed to change this current decorator just fix the render() method:

class Digitalus_Form_Decorator_Composite
{
    /* ... */
    public function render($content)
    {
        $element = $this->getElement();
        if (!$element instanceof Zend_Form_Element) {
            return $content;
        }
        if (null === $element->getView()) {
            return $content;
        }

        $separator = $this->getSeparator();
        $placement = $this->getPlacement();
        $label     = $this->buildLabel();
        $input     = $this->buildInput();
        $errors    = $this->buildErrors();
        $desc      = $this->buildDescription();

        $output = '<div class="'.$this->getOption('class').'">'
                . $label
                . $input
                . $errors
                . $desc
                . '</div>';

        switch ($placement) {
            case (self::PREPEND):
                return $output . $separator . $content;
            case (self::APPEND):
            default:
                return $content . $separator . $output;
        }
    }
    /* ... */
}

And during element creation:

$element->setDecorators(array(
    /* ... */
    array(array('div'=>'Composite'), array('class' => 'my_class_name'))
    /* ... */
)));

If you don't want to edit existing decorator, just extend it and override render() method...
