It would be very hard to make a full tutorial of any kind due to the amount of time and effort it takes to make a theme, it can take days or weeks to make a good theme and it's only going to be as good as your imagination and your ability to create that image on Photoshop or whatever editing software you choose to use.

There are hundreds of images and fonts and different properties that need to be edited and the best way to start learning is from your own experience, I learned everything myself by trial and error and I'm still learning new things every time I make a new theme, I look at other themes and if there is something new in that theme I can also learn from them by opening their theme in Windows Style Builder and seeing how they did it.

Themes don't always have to be that hard though, I did the theme Black Touch from scratch in under an hour but some of my themes have taken almost a week, funny thing is that Black touch seems to me more popular then some of the ones that took so much longer.

The best thing you can do if your going make a theme is start off with something basic, you can start the theme from scratch or do what allot of people do and find a theme you like that you would like to add to and build your theme on top of that, just remember when doing that, to ask for permission or at least give credit to the original artist if your using their resources and hours of hard work.

So get yourself a copy and start themeing and if you have some problems along the way you can always look at the help section for an answer to most of the common problems people have or start a new thread for your question and someone should be able to point you in the right direction.
