I tried Cookie's for a bit. Handy. And REALLY pretty. I uninstalled it, though. It's hrd to explain, though: I sort of like the piece-meal mods... a little tweak here... a little edit there. Easy to un-do and a one-of-a-kind final product.
I've just about got things sorted. A combination of Santod's stealth sliders, no curtains, 16 stealth links (w/none assigned in the top 4 spots/showing on the home screen) and working BG4All (+ other minor transparency tweeks):

...and a great compilation list of Rhodium 2.5 tweeks compiled by "smaberg" on XDA:

...plus a few good old ones here (camera, show Opera in task manager and some others):

MightyMike's pinned "Tweeks, Hacks and Mods" thread here used to be THE spot to look... but at over a hundred pages long it's sort of difficult to sort through it all. Combine that with many the tweeks working ONLY for 2.1, and others simply leading to dead links... it's a PITA to get much from it anymore.
