Theme development

Does anyone know how to add variables to the admin area? You know how, when you go to themes and then click on the edit, that page lists things such as displaying the logo, mission statement, and such. These are stored in a variable and then the page.tpl.php is able to check to see if they are on or off.

1) How do I add my OWN variables, and the text to let the admin know what they are changing?

2) What file holds these variables that are being used?

Hello, Is it possible to change the 'Admin' <h2> title into a <h1> ?

I'm using flash headers and they only replace <h1> elements.

Thanks!

How can I change the color of the tabs? The source points to a css class called tabs but it's not in the theme's css file and not sure where to look. Thanks.

As most of you probably know Drupal loads a lot of stylesheets by default as long as you've got print $styles still in your template files. As you all undoubtedly know more stylesheets means more work. I was wondering how you are dealing with those stylesheets in your templates. I have encountered a few things I would like to style but which are already styled by those stylesheets embedded by default. So:

After a bunch of trial and error I was able to get the tabs to line up exactly where I want them from the top margin. However, I can't seem to figure out how to get them to move over to the left. They are in the header and nudging up right next to the logo. However, I want them under the logo so that they all fit on one line. Can someone please guide me on how to do this?
