creating my own style where do i start?
 

I've been playing around with vbulletin for the last 2 weeks but when it comes to making it my own i haven't any idea where to start. I've changed the logo (simple) and also the header background. But thats from manipulating the default template. I want to make the changes by creating a new style, nothing out there, just something that means should i have to reinstall etc etc that i have a backup of the style template.
These are a couple of the things i'm looking to understand in the image below plus also i'll create my own status icons etc.

Just a bit of help in the right direction would be a great help at the moment. thanks.

And also what code i'd need to implement to move the welcome, notifications etc down just above the header bar.

These will help at first so you know where and what is what mate
