I went over to the TP2 Forum, knowing that at least the interface is pretty much the same. The following link from Santod does much of what I want. From an asthetics standpoint, lots of good tips. I changed the clock and calender background, changed the backgrounds on the actual calender and weather changed the shading when in transition and added the clear bubble slider.
