In other words, if I have a dark theme, I may still want black shouts on white backgrounds.

What do you mean by theme override color scheme ?
We can provide help and explain how you can do it on the chat is white better, or you can done some file that can inject it with white color, because look at this picture with me on the forum, gray better we do not like no way, please and help us all to solve this thank you very much
i have installed it and can`t see it on any pages?

did you set permissions in the user group manager they are set to off by default you need to enable shoutbox for each user group allowed to see and use it.
