I have no idea how to make Anything happen to the clock in Win7 except changing the font in various ways..... we made a thread about how to move the clock text, but no luck.

-On your other thread you say that everybody is doing Black Blinds now......

I disagree, most are doing Blue ones...you too ;P

The aero mouseover effect for taskbar tray elements is something that WB cannot replicate unfortunately.

 

For the taskbar buttons, though you are in luck. Here's what you need to do:

 

Firstly your taskbar button images need to be semi trans on the Activated and Highlighted and Activated states. The more transparent your button is, the more glow will shine through (70% opaque will give you a good visible glow)

Next you need to skin the mouseover mask. The images should be just the same as your button images, but solid black.

Yes think of it this way, Where black is on the masking image has transparent properties. You can only give the clock a glow constantly no mouse over effect unfortunately. As for moving the clock text, mess with the margins on tray section > text.
