Annotative blocks and linetype scales

$

I'm using AutoCADLT 2013. I've been gleaning this forum to solve my problem but I'm stilI not able to fix it on my own, especially Problem #1. 

 

I changed a few Blocks that were non-annotative to annotative using the "Block Definition" Behavior setting. All Blocks were created in 0 Layer, Model space at 1:1 scale, XYZ were all 0". The first ones were non-annotative (which I will be converting to annotative soon).    

 

Problem #1....When I change my scale from 1:1 to 1/4=1-0 in both Model space & Paper space, the annotative blocks become huge but the non-annotative ones remain the normal size. (Floorplan looks right but the annotative Fireplace and deck piers are the size of the whole DWG) I thought Annotative objects were automatically converted (Properties shows the oversized objects to be 1/4=1-0 so they were properly scaled but I didn't expect that size)? 

 

Problem #2.... I also had some linetype scale issues such as Dashed and Dotted ones becoming solid. The linetype scales I had originally changed in  Properties to get the right look/spacing. Was I wrong to do it this way? Is this what you Pros call overriding? 

 

This may be trivial but on this same page.....Is there a way to tone down the Paperspace screen to a softer color rather than the bright white? Some of my lighter linetype colors such as yellow are difficult to see. My Model space is the standard black/dark gray. What's the consensus on screens out there amongst the Pros?

 

Thanks!
