Playing cards face-down

I recently downloaded the client, and I decided to tweak the base color scheme to something friendlier than all-black. While adjusting some of these colors, I noticed the following:

When playing a card face-down (as in for morph), regardless of playing it from the stack or putting it into play, the color of the card still shows. If I put down a white card face-down, it shows as a blank 'white' card, and if I do the same to a black card, it shows as a blank 'black' card. There should be an entry for the color of face-down cards, otherwise you'll be showing too much information esp. in TS Block limited, with morphs in every color (albeit not as much as Onslaught).

Drag the card from your hand into play, but before you release hold shift; this action will cause the card to come into play face-down. You can then right-click the card and select "Morph" to label it.

In addition, this doesnot give any info to your opponent. Only you yourself can see what you have been playing facedown
the opponent only sees something like: nico moves a card from hand to play face down
after playing it, you can right click and make it a 2/2 by clicking morph.

I did exactly what Gerrardfo said. While I'm not sure what the opponent sees, what I see is the 'back' of the card (because its blank) but I also see the color of the card through the back, as if the back of the card has the same color as the front of the card... Is this normal? Can the opponent see this also, or am I the only one who can see it?

I forgot to mention that I don't have any card images and don't intend to download them. Not sure if this affects this or not...
