Just a lil bit of help needed here.

Ok people, I just got into skinning my desktop after frustrations with the XP style's lack of customization. Self-taught in HTML and Paint Shop Pro. Anyways, back to the actual point of this post:
I understand the overall function of Skin Studio, and the individual pieces dont seem THAT complicated (it's just the sheere mass of separate images and attributes that have to be set). I'm kinda curious where you guys would recommend I start. Thinking of ideas has never been a problem for me, but should i start out simply skinning PARTS of windows? Or is that somehow a breach of copyright? I was thinking about starting by only changing the taskbar and window header things. Any feedback is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Will skinning Windows affect applications that run full-screen (like games)? And will it slow my computer's performance. I have a 2.4 GHz processor and 512 megs of RAM, so i would hope not.
