I mentioned at the verrrry bottom of my post (right about your question:eek:) that ALL the widgets you saw on my home screen were made with Minimalistic Text widget by Devmil:

Minimalistic Text - Android app on AppBrain

Have fun!!

Hey KMoore7580...just realized that ONE thing on my screen at your question post http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-4g/91853-lets-us-peek-your-screens-89.html#post2173923 is NOT the Minimalistic Text widget. The little date and reference to "Chase" at the center right side is a 1x1 widget (100% transparent) for my Jorte calendar.

Now you're set...

Sound like a good idea but I have a follow up question. Forgive me because I do NOT have Beautiful Widgets installed, hence the (perhpas ignorant) question...

The "skins" for the Beautiful weather widget won't change the wallpaper I have on my phone right?? They are merely skins FOR THE WIDGET itself...be it 1x4 or 1x1 or whatever size I choose to use, correct??

With some of the screenshots it looks as if the ENTIRE HOME SCREEN is a "theme" of some sort INCLUDING the widgets. I just want to change the WIDGET color as I am hoping your suggestion will do.

THANKS!

Correct, the skin will only change BW, not your wallpaper

So, is the ONLY way to have your Notification Bar area the same background as your wallpaper (or a color/background of your choice) with a theme? I know one can "hide" the Notification Bar with Launcher Pro but is there a non-theme-required way to simply change the background of the notification bar while keeping the icons and information visible (a root or non-root option will both work...for me at least:D)??

THANKS!

Care to share your process for:
1) SMS, GMAIL, etc reflective shortcuts
2) Dock bar icons?

Thanks.

I can only speak to the reflective shortcuts...it appears that the ones you are referring to are the "Birdman" (named after the font) Font Text Icons that can all be found at this XDA post:

Birdman Font Text Icons for Desktop Visualizer and Launcher Pro Docks - xda-developers

I modded/created my own Birdman icons in my DOCK from that XDA post as seen below (though you can use the icons just as easily to replace Home screen icons):

You'll then need an app like Smart Shortcuts or Launcher Pro or Folder Organizer that will allow you to use your own icons for folders and/or apps you shortcut onto your home screen.

So I'm finally rooted, spent the entire weekend pushing files, flashing roms, pulling my battery etc etc. Currently settled on Fresh Evo 3.5.0.1 with Konikub's Mynimal theme. I customized the power toggles and changed the font to AvantGarde-Book Th to try and match the Mynimal rosie icons. Made some matching icons for mail and text and implemented them with Folder Organizer lite, also have Gesture Search in the middle with a blank icon. The phone keypad is part of the theme (not exactly working properly), but the qwerty is Better Keyboard 8 with the Black Light skin.

As far as I know, the only way to get a different notification bar is with a fully de-odexed ROM and a theme.
