This is currently not possible. Ages ago there were some patches to
add options in Vim to make some additions to the dialog boxes (check
box) but this has never been incorporated into Vim. So "Ctrl+L :"
remains the only way.

Not sure, Google probably points to a few, this has also been
discussed on the Vim list.

You can override Vim's defaults with a file modeline. You can also
force your own highlighting with customized autocmds in your
cream-user.

Again, custom autocmds or modelines will both work. The first is
global but requires a little more understanding of Vim's filetype and
highlighting system. It sounds like you might want something like
function! MyFunction(filetype)
(do stuff depending on a:filetype)
endfunction
autocmd BufEnter * call MyFunction(&filetype)

Tools > Add-ons > Highlight Multibyte will highlight problem
characters. But editing the actual file does make changes to the file
itself, I'm sure you have worked through the implications.

You'll need to write a little Vimscript. If you can figure out what to
type on the commandline, putting it in a menu item or keystroke is
simple.

Alt+S, R, C will get you to the themes menu, you can pick through the
Cream ones. To adapt a Vim color scheme, just make sure you add all
the highlighting groups found in cream-colors-default.vim, tweaked to
your own preference.
