Was wondering if anyone here could help me figure out a 2 small non-problems I'm having with a skin for rainmeter? Google-Fu, Code-Fu, Kung-Fu.... whatever works.

If it's at all possible, I want to modify this http://customize.org/rainmeter/skins/66668 "Linear Clock" a bit. My first step was to do transparency, which wasn't a problem what with rainmeter giving the option for various levels. My second step, which is part one of what I'm seeking help for, is to make the number at the end of the bar come off as bright and non-transparent and I don't know how that can be pulled off, if at all. The third step is to change the colors of the bars themselves to a different color and keep them that color.

When I look at the .ini, I see a variables section that gives some form of control, but.... I'm lost past that. I left a comment/question at customize.org, but I figured I'd drop a line here since I might get a faster response.

I have a slide show backround, I got a few off this page.

I'm neither the creator, nor do I know him, but the theme that I'm using on the laptop (And the desktop for that matter) is called Dynamic Black.  Found it surfing DeviantArt a few months ago.  Looks good with or without Aero running (the laptop's videocard doesn't have the horsepower to support Aero effects).  The default image rotation he includes with the theme was perfect for my laptop - understated, but stylish.  The desktop got something more extravagant just for the sake of pimping the dual monitors.

This is not my desk, but is probably what a lof of you imagine my pc room looks like. While I do keep guns close to the PC, they are in a better ready state. Yes, that is an XM214 in the corner.
