First off let me just say that I have installed the applications and everything works great. Thanks PD.
Second if you download all the required files (which are all for the most part located in this entire post) and then active sync them to your phone and run the cab files (which are in the zip files

). You should have the exact same interface after soft resetiting your phone.
Third, to change the colors you need to disable the htc home and quick launcher and active sync the color files to your phone (once again the files are in zip format

so you need to extract them) and once again soft reset the phone and reactivate the htc home and quick launcher.
Its really simple. All the answers are in the post. Just search for it.
