I am very new to tikiwiki, so I only can answer some questions. As far as editing the properties of a theme, the size of boxes, etc. just go to the General admin page. Where you see your theme, click where it says to edit it. Then you can make any changes to the CSS right there.

You can remove the ads at the bottom by going to Admin, then Features, and then unchecking the "bottom bar icons" at the bottom of that page.

As far as bullet styles, I would think that could be controlled in your style sheet.

You can link to a specific forum by simply finding the page it is on, and linking to it. You should be able to embed something like latest forum posts in a list by using the modules.

And I'm sure someone with much more experience will provide a more helpful post!

See How to create a custom theme in the docs.
