Ok people, I just got into skinning my desktop after frustrations with the XP style's lack of customization. Self-taught in HTML and Paint Shop Pro. Anyways, back to the actual point of this post:

I understand the overall function of Skin Studio, and the individual pieces dont seem THAT complicated (it's just the sheere mass of separate images and attributes that have to be set). I'm kinda curious where you guys would recommend I start. Thinking of ideas has never been a problem for me, but should i start out simply skinning PARTS of windows? Or is that somehow a breach of copyright? I was thinking about starting by only changing the taskbar and window header things. Any feedback is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks a lot.
