You don't need anything else but a graphic program (Photoshop is good) and Desktop X. Explore by yourself, right-click on objects and look at their properties, learn that way. Go into your current theme folder in your Desktop X directory, and look at the images, open them in Photoshop and see how it works.
Not hard, but you'll understand better if you see by yourself than if we try to explain it.

NoMercy: There is a great tutorial for starting out on DesktopX over at Stardock. Here is the link: https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/tutorial/default.htm
Read it through and then experiment with some pre-existing themes, and before long you will be building your own from the ground up!
Theming for DX is great fun, so get stuck in. If you need any help, you can always e-mail me at [email protected]
