I've run into those same issues and was able to get by the updating issue by using the theme manager gadget here: http://www.google.com/ig/directory?type=gadgets&url=gad.getpla.net/theme_mgr/theme_mgr.xml. Clearing the cache on the theme seems to make the chat thing update more quickly. You have to go into the preferences and set it to developer mode.
The colors on the buttons are a problem. I don't see any way to change those from the api documentation. I think the chat box was considered too buggy even for the public beta. Outside the sandbox, it doesn't appear for me. Even when it works, I can't quite figure out what the intended workflow might be. It seems strange that the chat thing would be in a homepage because I don't tend to remain located on the home page all day long, but I would like to receive chats from people that are trying to talk to me. Maybe it has something to do with what Google is doing in the social network area and some other things are going to plug into it. Just speculating at this point.
