Hello all, very new here and having bunches of fun playing with desktopx. So far I've been able to grab individual objects out of a variety of themes and mush them together for my own. But now I'm itching to do something from scratch, and am hoping someone can point me to tutorials on making objects/working with png and alpha transparency/etc.

The stuff here is SO great and creative, and I love many of the themes, but I can't help but notice that there are extremely few *feminine* style themes, so I'd like to try my hand. Thanks in advance for any and all help.
