Exceptions list only changing font size?

Hey, I had some problems with the post editing page on Tumblr and LiveJournal, and the coding (HTML/CSS) editing page on Neocities when this add-on was installed (on Tumblr the very top of your post disappears and on LJ the buttons in the "smart text editor" entirely seem to have disappeared and turned into the default background colour of the add-on. On Neocities the text totally disappeared...).
So I wanted to make exceptions, and I tried to follow what I thought was the exception pattern. However when it seems like it should be working, it only resets the font size to the site's original, it doesn't give me back the original site colours/layout. Am I just being really stupid or is anyone else having this problem?
Exceptions aren't for telling NoSquint what it shouldn't try to zoom; they're more like ways to divide domains into separate 'sites' that can each be zoomed independently.
Does the problem still happen when NoSquint is disabled? (sorry, that was a silly question to ask)
According to the text on the Colors tab, the settings there affect all sites. And yeah, as I explained above, the Exceptions tab doesn't do what it sounds like it might.
(Not the original dev here, btw - just trying to help people out.)
Hey, yeah by now I've noticed that part. It's not really the zooming that's the problem but the background colour. For example, on Facebook, if you click an image that someone has posted and it goes to a sort of full-screen-ish view where you get their comments on the side and then the picture on the other side, due to how the site shows the picture, it gets covered up completely by the background colour from NoSquint and you have to right-click and select "view image" and view it outside of the page, using the plain image URL. For another example, on Google's search bar it also gets filled in with the background colour that you've chosen, but the text inside the search bar isn't affected by NoSquint, so if your background colour is black then Google's text is dark grey and it's impossible to read. There's just several sites where this sort of thing causes some problems and I know it's not really NoSquint's fault, but it is really annoying since the addon helps so much otherwise.
So in order to stop the accidental image overlay, I have to disable the global settings just for the site I happen to be on at the time, which may or may not require also disabling the site-specific settings on top of that, and then enable them again a short while later when I move away from the site (or the one specific problem page). For example, an entire site may work fine until it comes time to type in a text box. Disabling it doesn't sound like much work, but when you go on the internet a lot and switch between sites a lot...
