3) Describe problem: The button is picking up the background color from the user's Windows properties...as is the border of the table...how can I customize this so that I force a specific color? Thanks...

Give the button a background color of its own.

I'm not sure where in the code to do that...

background-color is the css attribute you should use.
look in your css for a selector that matches the buttons.
so you would have

.coolBar {background-color:#hexcode;}

in your CSS file, replacing "#hexcode" with the color of your choice.

something in the .js file is still overriding the colors...

That's right, the .coolBar and .coolButton class backgrounds are off limits. This is probably required so that the script can work properly. This script is only intended for IE by the way so, if you are not using that browser, unexpected things may happen. Also, the buttons are gray, period. There appears to be no other color available.

Now, I just tried this out locally here and it worked fine in IE, OK (only some of the effects worked) in Opera and degraded well (did nothing but did it gracefully with the links still able to be seen and used) in FF. Perhaps a link to your problem page would help us figure out your problem.
