In this case open the View->Lilypond window and right click and choose "Print from visible LilyPond text", the start of the error will be highlighted in red, and the error message from LilyPond will appear in the LilyPond errors pane. You can move the cursor about in that pane and using the arrow keys and it should find the place in the Denemo score where something nasty has been introduced.

All that sort of stuff is dependent on the "theme" I think.

Did you have to execute "Save Command Set" to make the change permanent? It should ask you as you quit... This is off-topic for the LilyPond list, so I will continue in private, but it is still very useful for me to see how the program appears to newcomers.
