I suggest you take a look at s-pre-01.tex. This probably helps to
decide what to adapt, and what is easy and what is difficult.

Not easy I think.

Look at s-pre-00.tex, there are some comments there which might help.

Again look at s-pre-01.tex which colors are used. Override with:

\definecolor[white][blue]

for example, or hack s-pre-01.tex
