Some more questions regarding styling

[Divvens]

I'm working on a Halloween theme for my board, I must say its much easier the second time xD The first theme I made I needed help in every stage, but I still have a few problems I'm facing I tried to sort it out but...couldn't ^^

First, I want to add the following effect to the sidebar (on the forum home)

border: 1px solid @pageBackground;
border-radius: 2px;
box-shadow: 1px 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0, 0.4);

If I add it to secondary content, other things like drop down options seem to get a bit messed up. Is there anyway I can apply those settings only to the side bar?

Second,
I am facing this weird problem, I tried everything but can't seem to get the right option to change the on hover colors for the drop down menu links screenshot attached.



Third,
I want to change the image size (of forum icons read/unread/links) to 50x50, I had come across this option before but after looking over the styling options I can't seem to find the option again xD Can someone tell me where is the option to change the sizes from 40x40 to 50x50?

And another question pops up I checked the properties I did find the editor options but I didn't find where I could edit this. Maybe its via css but, how would I change the color of the editor since the colors clash to much.

Maybe there's a easier way which i don't know, only way i know is:

check this css classes:

.xenForoSkin table.mceLayout , .mceListBox .mceText table.mceToolbar, .xenForoSkin tr.mceFirst .mceToolbar tr td, .xenForoSkin tr.mceLast .mceToolbar tr td(and probaly some others.. I'm lazy )


and add a background-color tag
