Missing X button, how to kill weather animation sense 2.1, and changing weather updat

[1454]

BTW, Great job mighty. Your ROM is amazing(you should be expecting some christmas money from me for this). Back to my original questions, I can't find anything on how to stop continuous weather animations. Or where my X task killer went. The only thing I have changed since the X dissappeared is installing an HDwalls cab, could that kill it? It didn't on the first one I made.? Also just an aside question can you change the weather updates on 2.1 from 3 hours to 12?? I have seen others asking this question in my searches but no real answer(only they were asking for shorter update times.). I know this is a lot of questions but in my searches I came up empty. If anybody can/will help me with all/any of these awesome and thanks. If not, thanks for looking anyway.

Also what is the best clear clock to use with 2.1? It seems as if the one I am using screws up my weather in clock.
