Questions about Themes and House Rules

So I have been running a darksun campaign for a bit over a year now and the WOTC character builder has been driving me nuts since adding anything custom to it is a royal pain if not impossible. Anyway yesterday I noticed that hero lab had a 4e option so I picked it up after what may not have been a complete enough examination. This leaves me with a few questions.

1) What is up with themes? Are they every going to be implemented, or is there a way I can add them manually?

2) Is it possible to just rename things like powers/races and adjust the weapons list around? For instance I would like to add brutal 1 to morning stars and flails.

3) Our group uses more more extensive armor list divided into light,medium, and heavy armor, and the max dex/int bonus system from 3.5. Would it be possible to build a new list of armors, and to have those armors give you a partial amount of your int/dex bonus instead of the all or nothing system of 4e?

I am hoping these are all possible because I really do prefer this builder to the WOTC one.
 
I think you could do what you're asking for, but it would require a lot of customization on your part.

1. Themes... when base themes are in the compendium, I've been told HL will support them.
2. You can copy them in the editor and give them different names, stats, etc.
3. This would require a lot of scripting, but I don't think it would be impossible.
