I am trying out gallery but I'm finding it incredibly difficult to integrate it with my site. I find the css in the themes a little difficult to undersand especially when it conflicts with my existing style sheets.

Anybody got any suggestions on how to handle integration easier?

Is there plans for a colur picker or similar?

i assume you use beta 4.
activate the colorpack module. you can easily create your own colorpack.
a block to switch the active colorpack doesn't exist yet.

not yet. but it's very easy.
just copy modules/colorpack/packs/blue to modules/colorpack/packs/yourname and change the color.css file.

if you have managed to create a colorpack css file, you can begin customizing themes. it's really easy once you get used to it. docs are coming soon, it's the next thing that we will be working on.
this is a start:

Cool but how is this different from just editing theme.css?

it's a reduced set of css, it's mostly colors, no positioning (afaik).
