Finally got my pro, help please

hey guys, i come around here alot but dont post much since u guys always seem to have everything covered. anyway i finally got my sprint pro and im currently trying to customize it. so far i have added the weather database and background 4 all tabs. im having trouble with the clock once the background cab is installed though, it jus shows 0:00 and is sort of greay/shaded looking/doesnt work. i tried installing w/tf3d on/off and tried installing on both the sd/main mem still same prob.
i have no idea what other customizations are out there so can someone give me a few opinions on what to add to mine
im interested in stuff like background for all tabs (that works), transparent clock, etc. is there a way to make tf3d tabs be the same whether in landscape or portrait?
also i need a case bad! whats up with the invishield thingy r whatever? seems to be made by the same people that make the screen protector included w/the fone.
thanks in advance guys

[Q] Modifying a ROM....HELP

I love froyo. It's the only android version that is fully supported. A new rom came out called frankentab. I love everything about it except the icons used for home, back, and menu. The icons officially used are honeycomb icons, but I personally think they do not look nice with it...
So I would like to try to change the icons from Honeycomb to ICS myself.
Does anyone know how one may do this?
Any help appreciated
*EDIT*
Due to my unresponsive upper right corner touchscreen,
I changed back to my favorite rom, Beasty's Froyo Ultimate i think its called, and I still would like to try to change those wifi and battery icons I assume its the same framework situation.
From what i could think its in framework could start looking in there in the rom zip
thanks I started looking in there but haven't made any real progress...
I actually kind of abandoned this rom because my touchscreen is unsensitive in the top right corner so the home button was useless. I changed back to my favorite beasty's rom and now I want to change those icons and I assume its the same directions for that too.
You could try the UOT kitchen (edit roms online) or NinjaMorph (android market). I haven't tried either on the gtablet yet so I can't guarantee anything but I have used NinjaMorph on my DroidX and it worked. The UOT kitchen looks really neat just haven't had the chance to try it yet.
By the way I am on Beastly too great Rom but plain Froyo looking! Let me know how it goes I may do this too when I have some time.
Thanks I just made a flashable theme from UOT kitchen, and I am about to put it on, will update once it's done...

[Q] Help me create a bottom status bar mod!

hello, so I've been searching and searching for a way to move the status bar down to the bottom so I can flick it up to open it. I've seen it before in cm7 roms and reloaded ics for older nightlies of cm9 roms. I'm wondering how they do it... it seems like it's some BIG secret, because no one seems to know anything about this type of mod or where to start to create it. It's built in to the cm7 roms, and Reloaded ICS doesn't work for newer cm9 roms.
So here's my request.
1. Someone point me in the right direction of where to find the right xml files and values to edit to recompile a rom with a bottom status bar!
or
2. Someone help me port Reloaded ICS to either newer ICS builds or maybe even JB!
or
3. Someone tell me some kind of good news about finding any way of moving the status bar down and reversing the pulldown so it slides up! cuz I'm really getting sick of searching for guidance on this issue...
I swear, it's the final and only thing I desire to change about my phone...
I love AOKP so if we could integrate this status bar trick/mod into an aokp build, that'd be the best rom ever!
again...why is this so hard? this search has gone on long enough, I'm really starting to get fed up with people creating roms just because the source is new... I'd like to see more customizations with current roms, like a bottom status bar option! why was this left in the dust in cm7? why not keep the mod going in cm9 or 10? bahhh!
I've started to decompile framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk but I don't understand what to change to make this happen, there are several places where in certain xmls it specifies the gravity or position of things that sound like they'd have to do with where the status bar is and how it acts, but I really don't know where to start...
Please help! It sucks knowing what I want, having the available technology to create it, but no guidance or any info to start with!
I have attached a couple pics that i made from screenshots i took while running Full throttle's and Licorice's Fuzion Rom
My background is my wonton symbol and the little android at the bottom is my app drawer, there are other icons/folders beside him but they're invisible, haha!
So if anyone could help me with creating a rom that looks like these pics, I'd be eternally grateful!!!

[Q] Remove TouchWiz DropShadow on Icons

Hello XDA community!
I'm new to the forums and I've found many great things here
I've started this thread to seek some help regarding a problem. I recently discovered a little bug in KitKat ROM (TouchWiz 4.4.2) where for a split second you can see that the shadows behind the icons is vanishing. I actually like the idea of removing the shadows behind the apps but I couldn't find a way to do so.
This bug is a little stranger because when the shadow is gone, there's this overlay of the status bar that appears out of nowhere.
I tried to modify different files from SecLauncher3.apk, like \res\values\styles.xml or color.xml but I couldn't get it done.
I don't like to use launchers so please don't recommend any.
TL;DR I need help to remove the shadow behind the apps and remove the overlay of the status bar.
I would appreciate if anyone could help me with this!
Sorry for my bad English.
Regards
