  2. This is just the standard chart template pulled out in blend. Are you using it with the zoom example or in a non-zoomed chart?

  4. the zoom sample already has customised templates. You could add a legend to the main chart control but I can't remember if it will work with zooming. It may get zoomed which you don't want. When I implemented this, I used s listbox outside the chart on the right to display my own legend so the chart surface only contained series data
