hello, i am fairly new to the skinning and I want to have a nice computer layout and I want to customise it as much as possible.

I already have a logon that I like and I would now like to customise the rest of my computer

I also have all the icons I want that I made and applied myself but the rest I amnot sure on.

I need to get hold of a few things
-logon picture (easy to get)
-desktop background (again easy to get and apply)
-and a windows shell (browser windows e.c.t)

the last one is hard to decide on and I dont know which program to use as there are so many.

could someone plese help me decide on what shell mod program is best and has a wid range of skins o I can find one that I like

by shell I mean the start bar and all the windows stuff like that.
