Plazmic's focus and caret issues

[Jess9984]

Ok. I think I some what get the hang of Plazmic CDK 4.6 except for a few things.

I use ArcSoft PhotoStudio to make color changes. However, in the Today style, when I try to change the 'caret' color, which is that selection bar, no matter how much I resize it, it always looks really thick, almost covering the top of the 2nd line (see image below).

Also, when I try to change the focus circle, I open it with PhotoStudio and it changes the circle to this circle with a box around it, so when I try to change the color, it turns out like this (see picture below)

I also have issues with using a transparent background if I upload and make minor changes to an icon (see picture below). So I found this american flag icon, altered the pic to make the colors darker, then it adds this white background instead of keeping it transparent.

Is there a better program I could be using? Or any idea how to make these changes with this program? Or where can I find 'caret' and 'focus' icons so I don't have to worry about changing the colors.

Sorry if I sound confusing, hopefully someone understands what I'm saying?

Thanks!
