Blood and toxic....hehe,thats gonna look like christmas...    

If you havnt got it yet,I suggest you go get the start menu PS file I uploaded to graphics...you can piddle with the settings and layers...insert you splattersinto the body or layer them on top(with glistening shine,drip,drip)

Toxify another layer...but watch that green and red together...very merry holidays.

Yes I did waaay back when u said about it I know I already thought about the xmas thing lol. I liked the concept though and I tried it out together with a bunch of other ppls stuff to see if it did or not bc I wanted it to be my desktop theme. Anyway, I guess I'm still a lil confused. So I should do the biggest part of the menu 1st? Is that what ur saying?

Might want to use your splatter image to create a pattern.Then you can use it on any layer you like without it having to be a layer

Once it is a pattern you can use opacity,blend modes and it will be scalable.(sizable)
It can also be dragged around WITHIN the layer.

Define pattern is in edit>define pattern(whatever part of the image that is selected or the whole image...it will tile it for you so you might want to make it a seamless tile...(depends on how large it is)
I think PS help has instructions for making them seamless.

Having fun yet?

I'm saying finish your entire Start menu before you start replacing images in Skinstudio,then cut out the sections you need...otherwise it will all just look like individual section stuck together(like XP;))
When I do start menu it is one complete graphic,then sliced up.(bloodless slicing)

brushes are more for art but you could use them to paint details on a separate layer...I dont use them...but I do use the custom shapes tool(buttons and stuff) and the style them.

sweetie?,you left out handsome.

If you look at the PS file you can see they are just 2 shapes with styles applied(thats how you can make really quick changes to the appearance.They are just solid grey underneath.

Creating shapes is just something you have to play with,Mostly altering them with the selection tool and adding or deleting some of the shape.
The custom shapes tool has alot of ready made shapes and you can download zillions more.
