hehe,Braniac...BRAINIAC! 
FO,if you want a start menu photoshop file to work with and cut up go here https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=878&libid=18
You dont have to use it,but it might give you some photoshop pointers and speed things up.

You can change colors,textures,shape...anything you like.  

Let me open Neutronium in Skinstudio and I will be right back.

First you need to get Skinstudio setup if you havnt already.
Open Windowblinds config window and go to 'change how my applications look'...delete the default skinstudio exclusion if you see one and add your own exclusion for Skinstudio.exe

The default one dosnt work right and you dont want WB skinning Skinstudio while your working.It will show you your current classic colors tho so thats cool.

Next go to Skinstudio's menubar and drop down the tools menu and open the preferences dialog.Set your name and email etc...
Put photoshop as the first image editor.

Open Neutronium and go to file>save as>...enter the name you want for your WB.

Open your new WB and look at the info panel to the right.(section attributes)...if the author information etc... is wrong,put in your info and then save the skin.(file>save)

Now its YOUR skin  

Go to tools again and windowblinds>normalize image file names.Apply the skin and see if it is still working.(apply button next to import)

You should be ready to start making your start menu.

Wb config(where you change skins)...'change the look of a particular application'
delete the default Skinstudio exclusion. Add it back manually.

In that same wb config window...'add per application setting' a navigator window will open,go to the Skinstudio application folder and click on sknstdio.exe...check the box that says 'ignore this app and do not skin it'(first checkbox)

This way WB dosnt try to skin Skinstudio
