I do not blame you! There is a style system overview, but I will try and give you the rundown:
The style you see on a journal is the end result of a combination of hierarchical layers, with things in later layers overriding things in earlier layers. At the base, you have the core layer. It defines the basic functions all the other layers build on top of.
Next are layout layers. You need a layout layer to have a style! All the others above it are optional.
Next are theme layers. This is where all the layouts get their different "skins" from.
Wizard layers are the layers that happen when somebody uses the customization area to override layout/theme properties (like changing the background color or something).
