To answer the questions about my theme.

1. How to get the border less theme.
I made a copy of a theme I liked, echo in my case. To get rid of the borders along the top and left side I edited the image files located in
/usr/share/themes/theme name/images/
qgn_plat_theme_thumbnail.png
qgn_plat_home_status_bar_background.png
qgn_plat_task_navigation_background.png

I used Gimp to edit the images. I just removed all the color leaving only the transparency.
There are also some files under the theme directory that will need editing for the name of your copied theme, I'll post the file names later (I'm at work).

2. For the icon, I replaced the original located in
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon
You will need to remove
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache
then run
gtk-update-icon-cache -f -t /usr/share/icons/hicolor

Make sure to back up the orignal one first.

I got the info here...

There is also theme maker avaiable for OS2008 but I'm happy with most of the echo theme.
