Add this code to your additional.css template to match the colors of the editor to the style you are using:

/* Background Color for CKEditor */

}

/* Background Color for CKEditor Buttons (Note, this may be too dark for some styles. If so you can delete this one.) */

background: {vb:stylevar postbit_foot_background} !important;
}

.cke_skin_kama a:hover {
background: {vb:stylevar control_content_hover_background} !important;
}

The additional.css template can be found here:

.cke_skin_kama .cke_wrapper {
background-color: #xxxxxx !important;
}

/* Background Color for CKEditor Buttons */
.cke_skin_kama .cke_toolgroup {
background-color: #xxxxxx !important;

/* Background Color for CKEditor Hover Link*/
.cke_skin_kama a:hover {
background-color: #xxxxxx !important;
}

.cke_skin_kama a:hover {
background: {vb:stylevar control_content_hover_background} !important;
// background: {vb:stylevar doc_background} !important;

To check enabled scheduled tasks, go to :
admincp > Scheduled Tasks > Scheduled Task manager

Here are some scheduled tasks that can be disabled depending to your situation.

• Activation Reminder Email. Does your forum use email activation on user registration? If not, you can disable this.
• Attachment Views. Does your forum use attachment system? If not, you can disable this.
• Birthdays. This is personal choice, you can disable this to reduce mail load on the server :)
• CCBill Reversal Check. Do you use payment subscription? More specifically, do you use CCBill? If you do not use payment subscription / you do not use CCBill, you can disable this.
• Daily Digest. Send daily digest of new posts in threads and threads in forums. You can disable this depending on your need.
• Daily Statistic Log. This will update daily stats (user registration, new threads, etc on admincp). If you rarely view this stats, there is no reason to enable this task.
• Event Reminder. If your forum does not use event feature, you can disable this.
• RSS Poster Robot. If you do not use RSS to post on your forum, you can disable this.

Last tips is spread the hour and minutes of your enabled tasks. For example don't set all tasks to run at 04:00 AM, make each of them to have different hour. For example :

• Task A is at 03:10 AM
• Task B is at 05:20 AM
• etc
