Ok, you damn commie... 
I had to climb down the shaft into the mothership, in order to access the nuerel matter transporter (vaporizor, in layman's terms), in order to answer these deep questions on a Sunday afternoon...
1. Learn to type fast.
2) See #1 -- it's a Windows thing, not Rockit. Try the library search box -- it works just dandy
3) Pitch works fine. The control is not on all skins though. Tempo is a PITA -- you'll see it in either 4.2, or the next version -- depending on how much longer it keeps pissing me off. I have it working ok, but it has yet to pass the RICK CAN STILL BREAK IT WITHOUT TRYING CHALLENGE. If I have to, I will release 4.2 without it, otherwise, I will spend the rest of my days answering phone calls, about why it broke -- sorta like VDJ folks (oh wait, they have no phone number, except for sales).
4) Yes it would Buy two sound cards, map each deck to a channel on yer mixer, and have a blast. Rockit then works like two CD decks, and you don't use its mixer -- you use yer hardware mixer for cueing. You have to remember, I "grew up" DJ'ing, using turntables, cassette decks, 8-tracks, and basic CD players. When I cue, I press play on the CD player, listen in on headphone cue channel from mixer, and press Pause when it is where I want it. It is now cued
5) AutoMix uses one single queue now. The reason for that, was my support phone calls were running like 8-1 for a single queue (or list), to work with. Many people found it confusing to do the back and forth thing. Majority rule on that one (you'd have to successfully beat up on many thousands of people, to change my mind). If you succeed, I will put it back...
6) Ahhh Weedhopper, you ask the all knowing question...?
The answer is simple:
Wax on, wax off.
Or, you could just read the skinning tutorial
Actually, here's how it happened...
It was a dark stormy night. The wind was blowing furiously out of the northwest. The lights were flickering, as the snow and ice piled up on the power lines!
Rick was hunkered down with a smoke, and a couple Coor's Lights (that was before I could afford the good stuff -- like Corona). Rick had an idea (suggested by Faith -- who was cold and hungry at the time), that he would create a musical user interface, known as Rockit. He would name this series V4! It was good. The interface, was to be completely user customizable. It was so -- it was good.
The users, don't know how to read the manual, or tutorials. Ok, that wasn't so good, thinking people could read.
Anyway, read the basic skinning tutorial
7. See # 6. You can make it any color(s) yer heart desires, use a few presets, etc.
8) I'm not sure I rememver what the load delay was for... Oh, I believe the "load delay", is 18 seconds for the V4 series, when running AutoMix.
Anyway, here's the gist, if I can try and explain:
Rockit, since V4, is no longer a program like it used to be -- it is an interface now. It is designed for the user (or 3rd party designer) to tweak, much like Winamp. It makes for tons of flexibilty, yet I only design the core, and the user level interface to the core. It is much like a small OS (operating system), in that it can be changed, without requiring me to make the changes to the core.
You can do amazing things with Rockit, but it requires you to try different things, and not be force fed what I give you
I've documented lots of stuff in the skin files, as well as the manual and the tutorials.
For example -- how do I change the color of a text field (Title, Artist, etc.). Easy, read the Basic Skinning tutorial.
