Simulating Handwriting (and a couple of other questions)

Dear All

A couple of Tikz/PGF/Beamer questions

(1) Is it possible to simulate handwritten "notes" using PGF/Tikz...  
imagine a complicated equation, where a certain part can be outlined  
and then have something that looks like handwriting saying "this is  
the only term that doesn't vanish" or something like that... I guess I  
could scan some handwriting and then use images, but is there an  
easier way?

(2) How do I "adjust" parameters in Beamer themes... I'm trying to use

  \usecolortheme{dolphin}
  \useoutertheme{shadow}
  \useinnertheme{rectangles}

because nowadays, almost everyone seems to use the "whale" colortheme  
and I want to be a little different.


But while I like the muted colours of "dolphin", the frame title is  
typeset in black on a background that fades-to-black, and the  
rectangular blocks have transparent background. I'd like to get back  
the white frame titles and the coloured backgrounds, but while I am  
sure the answer is in the manual, I couldn't figure out how to do it..


Thanks

Gordon
