[help]stylebuilder Questions

I have tried to use Stylebuilder on and off for the past few years. I have only completed one semi-decent theme.

I usually give up due to lack of documntation, and I end up abandoning 20+ hours of work, because I just can not figure out how to do certain things.

This can be insanely frustrating...

I am hoping someone here may be able to answer a few questions:

1. Is there any documentation for Stylebuilder? If not, is there a forum dedicated to it somewhere?

2. Is Stylebuilder the best tool? Are there any other tools that I might find helpful?

3. How can I get Caption Bar Text shadows to go away? I don't want my caption bar text to have a drop shadow, and I can't figure out how to remove it.

4. I am making a pre-OS X theme. The Chicago font I have is too smooth. (I have font smoothing disabled). Is there an aliased version of the Chicago font?

5. Is there a way to make the area that contains text in the Caption Bar devoid of graphics, while populating the rest of the caption bar with said graphics?

(All pre-OS X Mac OS's have horizontal lines across the caption bar, but these lines are invisible behind the caption text).

Thank you in advance.
