Default Status text on SVG based theme

hi all, i have created an SVG which has an animated dock/button bar at the bottom, where if i scroll down it will show the dock with the buttons on, etc.

at the top of this dock, i have made a bar to hold stuff like date and time. how to i add these items in composer? i can add them in theme builder, but they won't be animated and follow the dock!

thanks in advance

Far from trying to be rude, but have you read any of this forum? The answer(s) you seek is in a post (Undocumented SVG Objects) on the first page, as well as many references to BlackBerry Theme Lab.

The SVG Post is the know all of everything you can add to an SVG. You can NOT do it in composer, but you can add to your SVG by using the methods in that post. Read it all, you may not understand it all at first but it's a great reference. Well, pretty much the only reference.

And BB Theme Lab... Nothing but great wonderful fantastic tutorials and resources for theme makers. He (they) even just recently open a FREE live chat so you can ask real time questions. There is also a forum filled with knowledge on theme building.

But, start with the SVG guide. It does explain how to manipulate the Theme Builder objects using an SVG.

What do you mean by smaller? The images are all smaller?

yeah, i designed it to scale in photoshop (480x360? or whatever it is) then imported the images/docks into composer, lined it all up fine, fit perfectly. saved it then exported it as svg, then imported to theme builder, and it was roughly 75% of the actual size? i'll get a screenshot up later to show you.
