I'm new to customizing so my question is:

How is all this done? Do you use an application or do you customize it by editing the existing files manually? If manually, where do I start?

[Mr GRiM]

You need Windows Style Builder and an Image editor like Photoshop to make a theme, you could also use Restorator if you just wanted to edit a few images from another theme but it's pretty limited.
