You will likely have to customize it then to suit your desires using CSS. You might even have to edit the PHP script files for the opt in box.
Do note that if you modify it directly, the first upgrade that comes along will wipe out all your customizations.
If the opt in is built into the theme, then create a child theme so that future updates do not overwrite your change and customizations.
Can’t I just create one in kompozer and then add it into my theme? Will updates wipe that out too?

Yes, you can create your own form and then put it into a page or a widget.
But will it get overwritten with future updates or will i be ok?

No, if it is content in a page, post or a text widget it will not be overwritten in a theme update or change.
