After uninstalling lcars-complete and lcars-extras, a full reboot should reload all your old graphics. You may have actually been doing soft-reboots... (was your power cord plugged in?) You need to unplug the power before "switching off" to actually shutdown the device, otherwise it just goes into charging mode (where Linux is still running, just at a different runlevel). I think a soft reboot may also sometimes happen if you turn the device back on immediately after powering off; try leaving it off for 10 or 15 seconds before turning it back on. If you see a progress bar during startup, it's a full reboot and all graphics should be reloaded.

I switched back to one of the stock themes and sdict links are readable, but I think I'm happier having to highlight them.

Any way to change this?
Theme colors are defined in /usr/share/themes/theme-name/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

Unfortunately (as discussed earlier in the thread) some applications have hardcoded text colors, and are therefore outside the theme's control. SDict Viewer is open source, so you could submit a bug about the hardcoded text colors, or change them yourself and recompile.
