Invoke M-x describe-text-properties RET on any character in such a  
faulty coloured world and change either the colour of the "face" or  
choose another face and use it as a new binding. It all can be done  
with the customisation interface.

Again, investigate which customisations GNU Emacs offers. M-x list- 
colors-display RET can give you hints how the name of a colour looks  
like.

There is a cua called mode I deliberately never use.

I'd rather change manners! C-s or incremental-search or isearch is  
too important. (But you can change key bindings. Look into the  
manual: C-h i m Emacs RET)

How comes that you have it on the wrong side? M-x info-apropos RET  
scrollbar RET will give you a hypertext menu of documentation on the  
keyword. You can achieve things for example by:

        (setq default-frame-alist
          (append (list
            '(vertical-scroll-bars . left)
            ) default-frame-alist))

(There are also other means to manipulate default-frame-alist or  
initial-frame-alist – and of course members!)

Besides, it's mostly useful to read the tutorial: C-h t. Or look into  
the menus (Options for example, that has "Customize Emacs"), here  
particularly Help.
