Kim - my boss wants me to use a different character, working on it right now. xD
Doctor - thanks for your feed back. I'll play around with :active css and see what I can do. I'll have to see if I can figure a way to mark "current" page in Contao.
For the back end, wordpress is still superior for posting new content. Easier to manage and categorize imo. But Contao gives a much easier way to pull things to show where you want, the way you want.
For example. You create a news category called "Events". You then create instances of the "news list" module and give them different settings.
Say, I created 3 instances of "news list", tell them to receive data from "Events"
A - 5 most recent Events, title and date only
B - 1 most recent Events, with partial content and image
C - 3 most recent "featured" Events, with thumbnail.
Now I can assign A to my sidebar, B to the top of my homepage, C to the middle of my homepage.
Contao even gives you an easy system to give each modules different templates. Total control of how you want things to look.
Contao also come built-in with a very nice sandbox which saved me a lot of time. Too bad it uses moo-tools instead of jQuery D:

Great skinning of Contao + Xenforo ... the visual integration is seamless.
Was the skinning hard ?
The skinning was much easier than I thought on Xenforo. Contao took me a while to figure out how the system works xD
A lot of them are manual coded. It's a lot of work because I have to manually edited the HTML for every links. But my web's content probably won't need much change to the navigation tab, so it is a 1 time thing. I hope.
