The first thing

link (inbetween the thread name / like / twitter and the first post)

is called .toolsmenu div

or you can apply a black bg without border using this code (add this to your additional.css)

.toolsmenu div {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #000000;
    border-top: 0 none;
    clear: both;
    color: #4E4E4E;
    float: left;
    text-align: right;
    width: 100%;
}

Second,

The ck editor bg is called

.cke_skin_kama .cke_wrapper

find it, and change the background-color to your prefer one.

Good luck and have fun!
