I actually really like the simplicity of the built in Precision theme, but I find that I need at least the today plus functionality from the calendar. I could even be ok with hidden functionality on a hover. If anyone could just put together the standard theme, no modifications to the header, and give a hover over today function on calendar icon, it would be greatly appreciated.
Have you seen my theme here? I did tweak the header though but it does use the standard icons. The wallpaper is changable so don't fear the skull and there is a link to one without the Weather slot.
I created a Today Plus type of theme with several icons docked on the bottom plus the calendar showing several entries up top. I am still in the process of adding more color themes to it.
