Your favourite settings? (worlds)
I have to agree with Ralf, my own setting, Virana, has to be my favorite. I loved the forgotten Realms for many years, that is where I started my journey, first by playing computer games like Eye of the Beholder, and later pen'n'paper games set there.
But, while all the detail is wonderful, I also found it a bit limiting in the end, so I created my own world and never looked back. It allowed me to make a world that was a perfect match to the campaigns I wanted to run.
I am not good at updating the Wiki, so only basic information and maps can be found there, but it is an overview at least.

Birdseye continental query
How are you selecting the background? Due to the fact that the background is a big rectangle with the water on top, you can't select it where it meets the water since that would cause you to select the the water instead.
The easiest is probably to just temporarily hide ALL sheets except BACKGROUND, then change it, then show those sheets again.

Why are some of my terrain drawing tools blank gray?
You are using the wrong drawing tools for the style. The map you are making is in the Overland Mike Schley style, but your drawing tools have been set to overland CC3. Change the drawtools style, and it will work as expected.
The reason this happens is that fill styles are defined in the template, and those drawing tools are trying to use fill styles not defined in your current map, because they weren't made for that one.
(If you really want to use those drawing tools, check this FAQ entry.)

Galery of NPC
Yes. Just pick the CA Pro template instead of the CA3 template. Or for a full selection of the old templates, use the "Pick a pre-defined template" option in the first step of the new map wizard, then in the template select box, hit Select Path and navigate into the CAPro folder and into the desired subfolder, pick any of the templates and hit ok to preview them all in the template picker dialog.

Finally got around to getting this set into the atlas. Thanks @Wyvern.

Hex Grids and Labels
If you want the text in the the top of the hex, try setting the alignment to "above center", and make sure cursor snap is on when placing the text. There should be a snap point along the top edge of the hex, so with above center, the text should should appear centered near the top line of the the hex. (If you place it on that snap point obviously)
Note that you won't be able to adjust the actual distance, that is based on the text size, but it should center neatly in the top at least.
