Thanks for trying GrblGru.
Sorry, my documentation is not yet optimal, but I am working on it.
But on my website you can download a manual and on my Youtube channel you can find a lot of videos.
If you have loaded a dxf file, you should first select your reference point in the right mouse context menu of the 2D view. Then you only have to press the button "Origin" in the 3D view.
After that the tip of your tool should touch the reference point.
Unfortunately I cannot say anything about your colors.But I think this has nothing to do with GrblGru.
Please contact me if you have further questions.
