Please help me improve this!!!

There were no themes involving swords, so I felt the need to create my own. I started by making a slick wallpaper which is found attached. I use Blank Icons to keep the sword visible by itself.
I use a 5 column springboard/dock.
Ive created a bunch of custom icons, tho i still need to create Phone and Mail Icons. There are also a ton of icons that arent visible/enabled and you can choose which icons you want for which apps.

heres my dilemma, I really love the clock/calendar widget things that float over the wallpaper. Ielegance was where I saw the first, so im attempting to create something visually appealing to add to my theme and my creativity(and my html skills) lack horribly.

I attached 2 variations of the clock that i was able to scrabble together, a below the 9pack and above the 9pack to show different views.

I need your help! I need a graphical backdrop that fits my theme and icons and looks good, and i need help coding so that it falls into place. I also want to change the font to a custom font and dont know how to do that.

the font id like is Viking Font | dafont.com

the html code written for the clock i ripped from Ielegance.

// Convert the hours component to 12-hour format if needed
currentHours = ( currentHours > 12 ) ? currentHours - 12 : currentHours;

// Convert an hours component of "0" to "12"
currentHours = ( currentHours == 0 ) ? 12 : currentHours;

// Compose the string for display
var currentTimeString = currentHours + ":" + currentMinutes;

// Update the time display
document.getElementById("clock").firstChild.nodeVa lue = currentTimeString;
}
