I need some tutorials

from WinCustomize Forums
Okay, I'm still working on the zion port suite that I've planning for a while and I've decided to go all out on this one

I need some tutorials on how to make a desktopx theme, nextstart theme, object bar, litestep, beatnik, sysmetrix, winamp, wmp, and whatever else anyone can think of...

It's for modern skins, not 2.X

There's a start for you.
