Salut Kathi!
First of, I like the topic of your page, will take a closer look later on
zu 1)
There are different Multi-Language methods available, of which the first in the list is, as far as I know and have experienced, the most 'workable'
-
XOOPS Multilanguages 1.4.4-
GIJOE's Easy Multi-Language Hack-
xLanguageNote: make sure you read the instructions carefully!zu 2)
Could you be a little more specific? Which module are you refering to? How are they not changing (why do you expect them to change)?
Though, you can always look at the source code of an article page, and check if there are any style classes used with the articles, and change them in your stylesheets (if this helps).
All font related settings are controlled by CSS styles, which you will find in your themes stylesheet (most commenly
style.css).
Some modules have their own stylesheets, which you can find in the module folder.
zu 3)
It is possible, but not advisable. Users are content-hungry, and want to reach their goal (be fed with info), as quickly as possible. An introduction page is often viewed as an obsticle, wich causes a subtle frustration.
You can just create an HTML-page named
index.html, which has a link to
index.php. You then just place the
index.html page (your intro page) into your root folder.
Hope this helps

***edit***If you were refering to the news module, and want to change its articles appearance, here is a list of the style classes you will need to change in your themes style sheet:
- itemHead/itemTitle -> to control heading style
- itemInfo -> control all info at once
- itemPoster -> control 'Geschrieben von'
- itemPostDate -> control date display
- itemStats -> control 'wie oft Artikel gelesen wurde'
- itemText -> control actual article text
