Tranquility II Customization

I've come to love this style, but I've got two customisation problems that I can't figure out.

First, my Friends page refuses to display more than 10 entries no matter what number I enter in the box. I want to be able to see around a hundred... Do the scripts react to my large numbers with a small default?

Second, is it possible to have my Links List above my Page Summary? The links are invisible way down there.

Thanks for your time, everyone.

Maybe this has been answered before, but I didn't see anything for it..

Is there any way I could add a free text area to my sidebar? I've managed to muddle my way through several tutorials to arrive at

But I'm at a loss to finish  the oooone tiny thing I'd like to have.. Any ideas?

I just found that in Tranquility II when you go to ?skip=# on the recent entries page or your friends view, the active link in the sidebar isn't a link anymore. I'd like to know if it's possible to make it stay a link even when it's active.

I am currently using Tranquility II, which I'm perfectly happy with except for the space between the subject line and the date, does anyone know how to minimize this space?

Secondly, does anyone know a code to get rid of the 'padlock' and 'eye' images that appear in the subject line of friends only and private journal entries?

Thank you!

Is there a way to customize the wording of the footer? I'm trying to play around with the wording at my slavezombie blog but I don't see any options to customize text for it.

Hi,

I'm wondering if there is an easy way to list the entry titles on the sidebar so that they contain the total number of replies instead of just a pound sign (#). If you look at magnoliafires, or dana_chosenart, you'll get an idea of what I'm after.

is there a way to do a sticky post...? i mean, a post (in my own journal) that always is in the top of the page?
thanks.

So first time user of tranquility II and the thing that bugs me is that you can't actually see the number of comments to every entry in the "page summary" in the sidebar. Now this is a big favorite part of my sidebar and makes it a bit easier to keep track of the amount of comments I get or if there's been a new comment in a recent entry etc without having to scroll down the entire page, or check the "view recent comments" option. 

With tranquility II this can't be seen, instead there's just the typical number symbol "#" which indicates that there are comments but not how many. Is there any way to change this into the actual comment number?

I'm also wondering if there's a way of switching places with the links list and the page summary so the link list is at the top and the page summary is below that?

I checked the memories here but couldn't find an answer to these questions.

Hi! I'm trying to edit my layout right now and I have a question.

Is it possible to get rid of the sidebar? Or is it un-removable?

Thank you very much in advance!
