Having multiple issues....

[Xanfar]

This is my first attempt at ZC and so far I'm very impressed. I've just used another thread here to get the cart functioning in my own template...working great now however the cart customization is hard to get used to. The link to follow along with me is: http://www.sportsboardscentral.com/s...php?main_page=

From the top:

I'm looking to remove the yellow header containing these links
EZ Pages :: Privacy Notice :: Shared :: Zen Cart

If you highlight the white are below this header (above Main Page Sample Text which I do know how to change) I have changed the message there but can't change the text color.

I will stop there for now and bring up more issues after these are resolved (for my own sanity).

I am attaching an image of my ultimate goal for the look. If it is possible for anything close to this (or if not) I could really use the help. Thanks again to all.
