Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Updated default css + added support for editor coloring

- Fixed cutoff scrollbar with default style.css
- Added support for a custom css tag called Editor in which users can define background and foregrounds colors for the actual editor part of the text editor. No more being stuck on white
- Created a new theme called really dark, which is a more dark-mode friendly styled text-editor.
