I got lured back to vin's ROMs because of WM 6.5.5. I've been impressed with the speed and stability of this ROM. There were a couple things that bothered me about this ROM: the purple HTC splash screens on boot, the transparent sliders, and the default blue/purple-ish WM theme. I wanted to share my efforts to find remedies for these issues. It took a lot of searching, but all the hard work paid off.
The transparent sliders had some issues with the alignment of the tab images and "New Messages" count. I was happy to find out that the "Sprint Plutonium_NO_Cookie+TV&Nav tabs" reverted back to the original non-transparent sliders. I hope this stays in this version of the ROM releases. In previous ROM releases, I was able to change the Sense slider using
santod's tweaks:

For the default WM theme, I prefer black. "HTC Black" had some graphical issues in some menus, especially in the Settings menus. I found the following theme by
Livven:

As for the splash screen, it's a simple fix:

If anybody wants a different startup animation, here's the author of the current animation found in this rom:
