I am glad you like it - this theme is a bit esoteric really.

Now, for changing the quote and code boxes you have to look in the file named
style.css. In there you will find these things:
/* A quote, perhaps from another post. */
.quote
{
color: #000000;
background-color: #C3B8D0;
border: 1px solid #000000;
margin: 1px;
padding: 1px;
font-size: x-small;
}
/* A code block - maybe even PHP
. */
.code
{
color: #000000;
background-color: #cccccc;
border: 1px solid #000000;
padding: 1px;
font-family: "courier new", helvetica, "times new roman", serif;
font-size: x-small;
width: 99%;
margin: 1px auto 1px auto;
#ffffff-space: nowrap;
overflow: auto;
}
And instead replace that with this:
/* A quote, perhaps from another post. */
.quote
{
color: #000000;
background-color: #fff5ff;
border: 1px solid #000000;
margin: 1px;
padding: 1px;
}
/* A code block - maybe even PHP
. */
.code
{
color: #000000;
background-color: #e0e0e0;
border: 1px solid #000000;
padding: 1px;
font-family: "courier new", helvetica, "times new roman", serif;
width: 99%;
margin: 1px auto 1px auto;
#ffffff-space: nowrap;
overflow: auto;
}
That should make it bigger and lighter in background.
As for your second question I can make a extra button for you and insert the code, but I need to have a copy of you index.template.php file to make them. You can send them to my email-adress in my profile.
