Answer 1

If you inspect the demo. You will see that the styles are defined in https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/css/bootstrap-datepicker3.min.css as below:

.datepicker table tr td.today {
    color: #000;
    background-color: #ffdb99;
    border-color: #ffb733;
}

So you should just be able to override that in your css file, or an embedded stylesheet loaded after bootstrap-datepicker3.min.css. Just use the same, or more specific selector and set as you whish:

.datepicker table tr td.today {
  color: #fff;
  background-color: #009;
  border-color: blue;
}

/* or more specific */
.your-custom-class .datepicker table tr td.today {
  color: #fff;
  background-color: #009;
  border-color: blue;
}
