Sorry if there was a specific guide for this before, but all I saw was "use this and this and play around". I'm a bit new, so please excuse me if this is something overly obvious to most, but I know this information would have been helpful to me to have found.

Anyways, I (like some others, I noticed) wanted to get rid of the operator text on the inner LCD and move the date to the lower left corner. After playing around for an hour, I finally got it right. So here's how I did it (I figured I'd share since it can't hurt, but again, sorry if I'm just repeating common knowledge!).

I started with MotoKit. Use that to disable the operator text, and for whatever reason it forces the date to the left side of the screen.

Next, I used P2KCommander to dowload the Moto, Techno and Neon folders from /a/mobile/skins to the computer.

Finally, I used MotoSkin to move the actual date. Open the .ski file for each skin you want to change, and click on "Date Text". Then, off to the right, the correct values to use to move the date to the lower left are 0, 315, 172 and 54, in that order.

Save the .ski files and upload them back to their folders on the phone, restart the phone, and there you go!

Credit to http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=572708 and MotoX for the info on the general way to get it done and how to do it and such. I just thought the actual correct numbers would be handy, and I figured I'd explain anyways incase someone (like me a few hours ago) was searching the forums for the info and came upon this.

Oh, and apparently, BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP (and sorry once again if I've babbled on for nothing :/)!
