Parameter slider customization question, also other questions

StratDragon

1) What is this mustard squeezy bottle in the attached screen shot?

2) And how do I change the color background of the slider box?

3) How do I move an object to a parent and have it move to the same position and I have parent in place checked off?

4) Why are my menu bars at the top of the screen invisible, but if I click in the general area the options drop down and I can see the contextual menu, just not the categories at the top of the screen?

5) Whats everyone’s favorite cheese? I ask because some people took the time to read this, didn't know the answer but I wanted to include them out of appreciation.
