download some sample sysmetrix themes and see how they are constructed, edit them a little bit to get an idea of what is involved...
beyond that, I think a good place to start is to make a rough background image of how you visualise your final skin to look like, start a new sysmetrix theme with this roughed out version, adding all the elements that you require. You can then take a screenshot of your work in progress and import that into your photoshop (or whatever app) document of the original background on a new layer and use it as a template to tweak the graphics, add custom dividers or sections - that sort of thing...

And if it was gonna be sticky, it would be in the "Skinning" section.
