I read some things about our droid x being "rooted" and that it is possible to hack something where it all shuts down. Is it safe for me to download those themes and colored keyboards from the market without my phone locking up? Please help!

Themes have nothing to do with "rooting." Rooting allows you to edit the phones file system and load custom Roms.
Apps are perfectly authorized, the android market place will not offer custom roms or anything that will mess with that. The only way the phone will lock down is if it detects a change in certain files that effect the bootloader and the operating system. You have to intentionally attempt to hack the phone to get it to lock up.
Thanks!! thats what I thought but didn't want to risk messing up my new phone for a pretty theme!
