When you're at postlist.php, you should see a link at the top that says, "Post". This will take you to newpost.php. The post box is the NEW POST window Josh was referring to.
If by "style" you mean your site's theme settings, just don't overwrite your theme.inc.php file and your Threads installation will keep its previous settings.
