Yah definatly a little late.
But hey at least your trying.
If you want some good stuff.
Check out the Manila2D interface for your today screen. Its a toned version of Manila3D which is from the Diamond. Manila2D was pulled off the Touch Viva. There are already lots of themes available in the second link.

Thats pretty much the newest thing. Just make sure that you use the customizing tool to remove some of the unused tabs since that will save alot of ram that it uses (its pretty much nessecary, unless your using nueRom3 but by the sound of your post I dont think so) . Or you could do the same with an xml edit. Tabs that are said to use the most ram are. Internet, Photos/Video, and Music. All of which you could link to specific programs that you want in the launcher tab.
Edit: You should be able to use all your wm6 themes, today plugins, programs, etc. As far as I remember. Ive been using wm6.1 for months now.
