How do I get colored fader-caps layouts to automatically appear?
If you want to use the colored fader caps, a best practice approach is to use the SWS Autocolor/Icon/Layout extension. For instance, set the same shade of green used in Smooth for your drum tracks, then in the MCP Layout column of that screen, enter: 150%_A green (or whatever layout you want to use). Repeat for each color/layout. Then under options, make sure "Auto-Track Coloring" and 'Enable Auto Track Layout" are enabled. Now your tracks and mixer fader caps will automatically be colored accordingly.

That's a great tip, need to add that to the FAQ still, thanks.

As I mentioned in the above post, the Theme Adjuster in Reaper is, well, not what I would call simple to decipher. :-) Where would I adjust the color/brightness of the volume and pan value readouts in the TCP?

The Theme Adjuster is very simple compared to the alternative, WT did a great job on it! It's not an all encompassing editor for Reaper, it offers specific options for the user to change.
Changing something such as pan/volume colour is 'minutiae' and is done manually. You need to unpack the theme and edit rtconfig.txt. The lines you need to change are:
set tcp.pan.label.color [180 180 180]
That's RBG. Make it brighter with [200 200 200] or similar. Same for:
set tcp.volume.label.color [180 180 180]
This kind of thing has been covered in the forum many times, just search for more explicit instructions.
