Making A Custom Theme

[mjwilson94]

I would like to know how I go about creating my own custom built windows 7 theme. Could you please list any softwares, and tutorials on how to do this. I have quite a few softwares already as I am a graphics designer but anything else would be muchly appreciated thanks alot.

You would need experience in Photoshop or another image editing program
Other than that you will need the following:
* Windows Style Builder
* A bunch of time
* Patience to get all pieces of the theme done right

Or you could try this to start with, since WSB costs a bit of money, and this method is free (it does not have anywhere near the same possibilities tho)
