issue1: Try the matrix theme or other with constant sidebarblocks. You can choose a dark colorpack if you wish.
issue2: Mixed-mode webpage is possible. But with php/html, the page must(on most servers) have the php extension to be able to execute the php.
So with a page called say "my_gallery.php" you could start with html pop in some php here and there, and end up with a complete mixed-mode page.

<?php 
/* You may need to edit lines 3 & 4 to reflect your site's setup.
/ g2Uri = Url to Gallery2 from your site's root with trailing slash (/)
/ embedUri = Url to this script from your site's root with trailing question mark (?)
/ loginRedirect = Path to login redirect from this script
*/ 
require_once('./gallery2/embed.php'); // Path to Gallery's embed.php
$ret = GalleryEmbed::init(array( 'g2Uri' => '/gallery2/', 'loginRedirect' => '/users.php', 'embedUri' => '/galleryindex.php?', 'fullInit' =>'true'));
	if ( $ret )
    {
	    echo( '   Here is the error message from G2:' );
	    echo( $ret->getAsText() );
	    return false;
    }
    $gallery->setConfig('showSidebarBlocks', true); // you can hide the sidebarblocks if you want
    $gallery->setConfig('login', false); // you can allow for login if you want
    //$gallery->setConfig('defaultAlbumId', 418);
    $g2moddata = GalleryEmbed::handleRequest();
    if (!isset($g2moddata['isDone'])) { 
        echo ('isDone is not defined, something very bad must have happened.'); 
		exit; 
	}
    if ($g2moddata['isDone']) { 
		exit; /* uploads module does this too */ 
	}
	if ($ret) { 
		print $ret->getAsHtml(); 
	} 
GalleryEmbed::done(); ?>
<!-- Your Html Head -->
<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Site Title</title>
<meta name="Description" content="Your Site Description">
<meta name="KeyWords" content="Your Site Keywords">
<!-- Your Style Sheet -->
<link rel=StyleSheet href="Your Site.css" type="text/css" media="screen">
<!-- Your Javascripts -->
<script language="JavaScript" src="Your Site.js"></script>
<!-- Gallery Stuff -->
<?php echo $g2moddata['headHtml']; ?>
</head>
<!-- Your Html Body  -->
<body>
<div style="width:100%;" align="center">
<div style="width:950px">
<div style="width:100%; height:150px; border: 1px solid #666666;">
Hey this is my site's header </div>
<div style="width:100%; height:350px; border: 1px solid #666666; background-color:#F1F1F1">
Some content before calling gallery's body.
</div>
<!-- Gallery's Body -->
<?php echo $g2moddata['bodyHtml']; ?>
<!-- Your Html Footer  -->
<br />
<div style="width:100%; height:150px; border: 1px solid #666666;">
Hey this is my site's footer 
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

But if the page is "my_gallery.html", the php will not be executed.

I have an free easy script for including gallery items in a php enabled page, mediaBlock.php.

If you created an embedded page like I described above, you want to keep referencing that page so all links continue to lead there.
make sure the embedUri is set to your embed page ir.

$ret = GalleryEmbed::init(array( 'g2Uri' => '/gallery2/', 'embedUri' => '/mygallery.php', 'fullInit' =>'true'));
