Re: Couple things

#2 i can comment about. We had the same problem and found you need to edit the colors sep from the main theme. A few other modules do that too not just xoopensim. Some of the modules tend to have there own css style code and we found them in the module folder for most.

as far as #1 problem id have to try that but have not seen any problems normally.

We use a dark theme as well if you care to have a look were at http://tritongrid.com and 2 of our admins are working all that out so you prob can leave them a note, they can prob help you better than i can (not really my thing lol).
