@cyberprodigy, thanks for the kind words… there is a link to the official adobe docs in Part 1 of the series: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Alchemy:Documentation:Developing_with_Alchemy:C_API
As for the text color, believe me, I understand… however I managed to lose that battle when the site was being designed… I will forward your concern along though…
Thanks!
