Ok, screenshot1, shows you how my homescreen looks right now. But I wanna move the time/date over to the left (closer to AT&T) because it's covering up Angelina's face. How do I do that? I know I would have to edit the XML, but what am I editing? (screen shot/code sample would help me out here) Also, I want to change the text color to white because it seems to fade in to the picture a bit.
Next, screenshot3, shows you how it "changes" when I hit the down arrow on my Q pad to select the Text Messages (it changes the text color to white). That's fine, but it also does like a dark grey background highlight... and that's ok too but is there any way to make that dark grey background highlight not run all the way across horizontally? I would like it to just go up to the end of the Text Messages (0)...
Here's the thing though.. on my Q9h Global I have a section to change my homescreen and to change the color scheme (which I have a couple default color schemes). I have one that's called Silvery color scheme that gave me the colors you see in the picture. So, would these changes be made in the xml file used for the color scheme? Or in the homescreen xml file?
I attached a copy of the xml file for Silvery color scheme and of my homescreen.
If anyone can help me out with this.... I would most definately appreciate it!
Thanks!

Without getting *too* in depth I'll explain a couple of things:
The homescreen colors (text, background, etc) are defined in the homescreen xml. In fact, under the 'settings/home screen' in WinMobile, you want to leave the colors at default, and actually define those within the xml itself.
For moving the time/date plugins over, keep in mind that each plugin defined in the xml will have its own attributes you can change manually, such as x/y location of the plugin itself, or maybe width and text color for others. Each plugin will have its own set of these attributes that depends on the plugin itself. The MadBeetle editor takes care of all that tedious crap for you by letting you just drag stuff around and it sets the code on the backend.
