please help...i must be an idiot

I am still struggling with getting a theme to function properly....just when I think I got it, boom...the clock will disappear, or the wallpaper vanishes, just anything....
I got it so screwed up earlier with fonts and stuff I had to do a hard reset so I started fresh and cant get back what I had! I almost had it then there was no clock(shown in screenshot) so I tried to just delete it and start over and it wont let me! (shown in other screenshot)
I just want a clean black theme, or black/red theme....geez I dont even know for sure now...my brain is fried!!

Its a stock rom, alltel, touch pro
What am I doing wrong?!?!
