Hi R, I think, it is really working as it should: If I take the code of the example of: http://www.openlayers.org/dev/examples/custom-style.html
and add a layerswithcher as in http://www.openlayers.org/dev/examples/layerswitcher.html I can change styles like position etc in a css style blok in the page. There is some style stuff defined in javascript though. The background color of the layerswitcher is defined in LayerSwitcher.js and can be changed by adding an option to the constructor. Tips: - use firefox and the plugin firebug:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843 (!!!) with firebug you can not only view the DOM tree, but also debug (with breakpoints), and edit css live (!!). - look in the Openlayers source code for clues About the background: looking at LayerSwitcher.js you can see that the activeColor-property set to "dark-blue" there. By giving this property to the LayerSwitcher constructor, it changes color; map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.LayerSwitcher({'div':OpenLayers.Util.getElement('layerswitcher'),activeColor:'green'})); But you can off course also roll you own one.
