[Q] Minimalistic Text Question - Black Bars/Hubs related - General Questions and Answers

I have seen various tutorials on how to create the black bars/hub theme, however the ones I have seen if you click the home or media bar it doesnt take you to that screen. I have only seen this with the widgets and simple text setup. My question is, is there a way to have the black bars you create with minimalistic text go to the page/homescreen you create it for? If so does someone have a link on how to do this or can you explain how? I tried searching forums and have watched a bunch of youtube videos but I am not seeing exactly what I am looking for above.
Thanks in advance.

[Question] Changing taskbar color.

Hi,
I've been searching a bit for a white taskbar with black icons to match my Sense UI theme (preferably standard icons), but I can't seem to find it. I only find taskbars with all sorts of funky colors and strange looking icons that burst out with many colors.
Are there anyone who's a little better than me at searching who can find a way to get this, cause I simply just can't figure out how to get it.
I'm using the WM version where the start button is in the top left corner (not at the bottom which I've seen many people have). If that matters ^^
/*bump*/
A transparent taskbar would work as well if anyone knows about such a feature.
Found something similar to what I was looking for

No idea if it'll work, but at least it's a step on the way
I have the same thread question. But I basically want a WHITE top/bottom taskbar instead of Black. But that would mean, the white text would require to be black now.
Anyone know how I can get this? I've seen it done on "android" wanna-be skins. How do they do it?

Not sure. You could try asking the guy who made the thread I linked to.

Animated Theme / Skins

I've been browsing websites home to UIs, theme makers, and forums like XDA... however I can't seem to find a UI or app that allows me to create or use animated themes.
By animated, I dont mean blinking backrounds, or car wheels spinning as your background picture.
I mean a theme that's buttons actually are animations or movie clicks.
For example, if you have a new text message, a banner will slide onto screen.
I have seen the wm7 themes for Throttlelauncher and WAD 2 have animations when some things are clicked, but from what I know, it is based on a code that blinks the images quickly. I could be wrong, or have no idea what I'm talking about.
Anyways, could anyone out there refer me to a UI that allows this, or a page that shows me how? Thanks!

Help with a theme...

Sorry for being a noob if this is an easy fix, but I've been searching for hours now and can't find anything. I found a theme I love except for one thing. I'd ask the guy who skinned the theme, but he says he's not around anymore, no time.
When I view a text message in on the screen where it shows this pic of the person, the date and time sent, and the call back number, the box with that info is a very light grey. Problem being is the text is white. I'm new to themes, and can't find the right file to change. I don't want to change the text color, just make the box black too. Can someone direct my to the right file to edit? I'm on WM 6.5. Attached is pic of what I have...
Thanks in advance for any help...
Moved as not theme release.
Anyone? Could someone at least point me in the right direction? Am I looking for a css, a png, a gif somewhere? I also noticed today that the address bar and search bar for Opera have white text on white background. I'm also looking to change those 2 backgrounds to black also...

HD2 Clocks, how come?

May I ask a question. Why is it when you search for clocks under this HD2 section, you get so many clocks that work on other phones? I'm confused here.
Can someone please show me where to find a simple, white numbers clock, without any background or alpha background behind the numbers? I've been looking for ages and I can't find it anywhere
Thanks for all and sorry if this is in the wrong area :-/

How to make text application icons/shortcuts?

Hi, could anybody point me in the direction of learning how to make homescreen applications links/shortcuts in the form of text with icons? I am aware of how to use Simple Text to create purely text icons, but that only works to create icons that are 1x1 - whereas the most shortcuts with icons and text are more like 1x3. Attached is an image of what I am trying to achieve, I've searched high and low both on here and on google, but can't seem to find any instruction on how to do it. Thanks in advance.
Also, first post. Hi.
