Default Explanation of Styles and Templates

Hi. Sorry if this is a really dumb question!
I'm new to vB and in the process of moving from phpBB.
I want to create a new look for the forum rather than the standard vB look.

I'm getting confused between templates and styles.
What's the difference please.

How do I create a new look, using a style or a template?
Are there any simple how to's?

Template = basically a "page"
Style = basically a "skin/theme"

Usually templates are how the things are layed out, displayed.. and what's showing.. AKA.. forums, Rows, Tables.. templetes control fonts, width, etc..

Style are mostly made of skins/jpgs/gifs.. and by incorporating styles into templates.. you get the whole thing what you see when u browse the page.

The easiest for me to remmeber is when you think of templates as set of rules that tell browser where and how to show stuff. Skins just fill in the graphics.. etc..

Hope this helps..
