theme quick settings and views

1. when I used the profile to install, this theme-quick-settings block doesn't have the predefined color settings as it exist in the demo, how can i get this to work?? 2. this is most important for me. I am also interested to create other views using the formatters such as masonry that came with the theme and its modules for another content type as well as using relationship and context in views, primarily group. From one of the thread I understood, i need to copy the views for the portfolio and then change the content type to what I want?? I really don't understand why we have to do this. i though it is a views formatter so it stands to reason, it should work without the need for template. not to mention, i need to create different views for portfolio using relationship and context in views. do i have to create template for every single one??? and how do i do this?? I have another theme for another site i have without commerce and it has a custom (theme) made views isotope and I used it for another content type without the need for creating a template. why this views formatter cannot be used without a template???
