In the sample site I am building the themes change things quite drastically in some places. Every group almost looks like a site on its own. It’s like…[Read more]

The colour picker list actually is not supposed to have any dots. I have tried to make that whole box as external-css-proof as possible, but obviously missed a few items. I will take care of that this week too.
