Desk-mess theme – footer, pages and widget problems

I have customised the Desk-mess free wp theme, but I’m having some trouble tweaking it.

here is the link: http://tinyurl.com/cobsre

1. The footer is out since i deleted the calendar and search from sidebar.php, but i can’t see what the problem is there.

2. the main point of the site is the wp-ecommerce plugin, but i can’t find a way to make the page links prominent. my page tabs are up hidden behind my banner at the moment how do i make them show up on the white area (in the centre, over maintoppart.png) in black and big arial font (can’t seem to get this to change in style.css, also want to make them not hover red) also the formatting of the shop plugin is such that it has three subpages, i only want these to show up when one clicks ‘shop’, not underneath as they do currently, it looks ugly.

3. I wanted to use the ‘text’ widget in wp-admin to add info to the sidebar, but this doesnt seem to be allowed/showing up when i do so. is this because desk-mess is not widgetised? if so, how can i do this?

i am pretty good with code just a bit stuck, any help greatfully recieved.
