I am not sure what you are currently doing to gets statistics on areas outside of the draft, but the best tool for doing so is:
- In the binder, select the highest level folder(s) of the things you want to count.
- Use the
Project ▸ Statistics...menu command and switch to the “Selected Documents” tab.
Review the settings in the “Options” tab that related to selected stats, as well, in case that doesn’t look right at first.
As for the Ocean theme aside; agreed. A number of the built-in themes have some pretty bad usability problems. Fortunately there are a number of good alternatives these days. There are even one or two that are similar to Ocean.
