Touch Pro 2 5.24.10 theme issues re sense turned off

As can be shown in these screens:

I am on the latest (5.24.10) original version mightyrom on my TP2, with NO other ROMS installed.

My issues are these:

I would like to change the color of the font on the main screen - as you can see I use a white background, and I'd like the text more visible..

Additionally, any menu that is accessed through a subsystem (like messages) appears SUPER large, irrespective of whichever theme I choose in "today" screen, so long as Sense is turned off..

Is there any way to fix both of these issues? They arent deal killers at all - but in my opinion, sense is bloatware and makes my phone much slower, Ive always turned it off and never looked back...

Thanks in advance!!!

I run w/o Sense/Titanium too. You can change the softkey menu size using advanced configuration editor, though I don't have my phone with me right now to tell you which setting it is (PM me later and I'll look it up if you can't find it). I think it's a number in the 100's for some reason, I want to say 1200 and I reduced mine to 900 or something like that. Works really well.

Don't know about the today screen color. Back in the day this would be part of a theme, and Microsoft and others have theme editors but they get weird on 6.5 and don't always work. I took the original sense background (with the green/orange out-of-focus lights effect) and darkened it, works really well with the light type. What if you just reverse your background so the image is light against black?
