[SOLVED] Problem With Cracker Tracker's Global News Function In IP
-----------------------------------
I just downloaded and installed the latest Icy Phoenix onto my test site located at http://engineering.dsjacademy.com/ 

I did it as an exercise more than anything else and to make sure I could deal with a site running IP.  But now there's a problem and I can't figure out how to fix it so I'm hoping that someone here can help.

The Global News located in the Cracker Tracker panel in the ACP is active and up and running but:

1.> It refuses to stay within the confines of any template that I put into use.  The banner generated is far too wide for even a fully maximized page and it's bleeding over the templates.  How do I change the size of the banner generated?

2.> The banner always shows in a pale pastel shade that clashes with the dark bg and I can't figure out how to change it.  How do I change the color/image being used?

3.> I can't get rid of the message that was originally generated.  When I clear message, it only clears any messages I add after the original so that the original is still up and I can't get rid of it.  How do I get rid of the first Global Announcement made?

4.> Any message I put in displays in white (which is barely legible on a pastel bg like the one generated) unless I put in HTML Color Code to change it.  Is there any way to change the default font color away from white?

If anyone could help me with this, I'd really appreciate it because if I can't fix it, then I need to know how to disable it completely before I feel ok about putting the IP into play on the main site.

Thanks in advance!  :)
